Grave Endings

For almost six years crime writer Molly Blume has obsessed over the unsolved murder of her best friend, Aggie Lasher. But when Molly's LAPD pal Detective Andy Connors shows her a locket found on the body of a dead man, the case at last seems to have been cracked. Molly had given that locket to Aggie. The presumed murderer -- an aspiring actor named Randy Creeley -- was found dead of an overdose in his shabby Hollywood apartment. Though Molly should be focused on her rapidly approaching wedding, she is driven to find out more -- about Creeley, about his nervous sister, about his missing girlfriend, and about Aggie, who, it turns out, didn't tell her best friend everything. Molly's search for the truth sends her scurrying for answers in an L.A. tourists seldom see. But closure is elusive, and seeking it can exact a stiff price -- sometimes even a life.
