Shroud for a Painted Beauty

“Water, water, everywhere,” but not a drop found on the killer of thirty-year old Kira Kensing, the ravishing curator at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum.

When Kira is found partially disrobed and brutally drowned in her office during a swanky benefit gala, the eccentric gathering of guests and staffers soon turns into a pool of suspects. The only clue? Water. But by the time prosecutor and ingenious sleuth Alex Winley arrives on the scene, all traces of the telltale marker on the murderer have already evaporated into thin air. Less than twelve hours later, a second body surfaces, cruelly slain. Can Alex uncover the killer’s insidious motive and unmask the culprit before he kills again?
