Savannah Stone
is a math puzzle master. She's gone to Raleigh to meet with her
puzzle editor, Derrick Duncan. Savannah wants to be able to free
herself from her contract. At the meeting Derrick notifies her that
they are not going to be working together. He has sold her contract
to another syndicate. She argues with him, and the argument is heard
by others. She storms out of the office. When she calms down she
returns to the office to find Derrick dead. She is innocent of the
murder and determined to find out who did it. She works with her
best friend Jemiah Blake, an attorney, to try and clear herself
as the prime suspect.
This is a well-plotted,
fast-moving story. The characters are likeable, strong and interact
with each other. There are puzzles in the back of the book for any
reader who is puzzle inclined.
