      About This Book

      A bird perched on a frail branch sings away knowing she has wings. ~Victor Hugo

      His health frail and life uncertain, Zeke Hunter visits the idyllic Drake Mansion to recuperate. On the outskirts of the small town of Plainsville in south Alabama, it seems to be a good place to convalesce...until Mr. Matthew Drake is found murdered in a locked room.

      Sheriff Field, the chief investigator on the case believes he has an airtight case against Dan Drake, Matthew's nephew. Jealousy and being heir to his uncle's fortune make Dan's motive certain, or so the sheriff thinks. But the sheriff might know more about the family than he's willing to admit.

      Marla Drake, Dan's wife, planned to divorce Dan to marry Matthew Drake. Or did she change her mind and become a murderess instead? And what of Aliénor Beaulieu, the French chef? She is willing to follow Matthew Drake to the grave to guard his secrets. And even Andrew Bloomsfield, the gardener, is hiding something and hopes the sheriff doesn't find out.

      Grace Phillips, Marla's sister, was born into a family obsessed with money. Can she rise above their deceptive ways and help solve the mystery, or is greed too deeply ingrained?

      Luckily, Ezekiel Hunter has a talent for seeing the obvious -- except when it comes to Grace.
