Now, she\'s working after hours to find a killer, and she has more to lose than her job.
When a second murder throws the store detective off track, Linell is plunged into the investigation.
But as everyone at Cunningham\'s knows, finding someone who didn\'t want Monty dead would be tough.
Linell had a history with the too-charming-to-be-believed victim--and being intimately acquainted with his cruel side has made her a suspect in his murder. . .
And while red might be the color for the new spring season, Linell never expected to see quite so much of it .
There he is, as cold and lifeless as a mannequin, his skull pulverized with a golf club: valued store manager Michael "Monty" Montgomery.
But she\'s at a loss for words when, after closing time, she finds a corpse in a window display.
Linell Wynn, copywriter for Chicago department store Cunningham\'s, knows how to put a clever spin on everything.
