Mary Rackner was shot and killed while relaxing in her backyard. The police were making no progress, so Mary's good friend Christine hired smart, sexy supersleuth Amy Bell to solve the case.
There were many people with a clear motive to kill Mary, who was leading an effort to make draconian curriculum changes in the private high school where she was a trustee. But was that the only possible motive? Not necessarily, as Amy soon discovered.
To identify the killer, Amy would have to challenge all the basic assumptions made by the police and also by everyone else.
Author David Schwinger, when not writing Amy Bell mysteries--there are now fifteen--enjoys composing songs, playing pickleball, and traveling the world with his wife, Sherryl. He first met Sherryl when she was his student in a mathematics class he taught at City College of New York. Their secret romance became the inspiration for his first Amy Bell mystery, The Teacher's Pet Murders.
