Murder in Waiting

LET SLEEPING MURDER LIE

Icon of the sixties record and TV scene Jenni Hilton had vanished following the suicide of universally despised recording mogul Barry Kershaw. Now she wants to manage a carefully controlled comeback. An interview with The Chronicle is the first step.

Gus Maltravers smelled one hell of an angle. His interview with the elusive star confirms his gut theory: a conspiracy of silence has been protecting not only a killer, but also the witness who had lied to damn a man they all hated.

Another shocking death puts Maltravers on the trail of an ancient scheme of revenge by someone ready to even the score--someone whose life has been fueled for twenty years on a burning dream of vengeance.
