Slow Dancing with the Angel of Death

HOLLIS BALL JUST RECEIVED AN ODD REQUEST FROM HER EX-HUSBAND: FIND THE PERSON WHO MURDERED HIM. . . .

When charming rich kid Sam Wescott dies in a fatal boating accident, few mourn his untimely death. But perhaps the person most shocked to shed a tear is reporter Hollis Ball, his former wife, who was abandoned by him ten years before on their honeymoon. Now he is gone.

Or is he?

For Sam's ghost brings Hollis the interesting news that his accidental death was really murder, and pesters her to find his killer. She would like to say no. But ever susceptible to his no-good upper-class wiles--even in their present somewhat spectral form--she says yes. And plops down into the middle of a whopping big story that involves Sam's old-line family, a group of ecoactivists, and some very hot political potatoes. . . .
