The Body in Blackwater Bay

MURDER IN PARADISE...
It's an idyllic spot called Paradise, just the place for a city detective like Jack Stryker to enjoy the wind off the Great Lakes and recover from a gunshot wound. Under the watchful eye of Kate Trevorn—English professor, girlfriend and now temporary nurse—Stryker is recuperating nicely. Then Daria Grey appears. Kate's childhood friend, Daria claims her estranged ex-husband is harassing her, threatening her life. Stryker insists it's not his problem. But when her husband turns up on her lawn—shot dead—Stryker jumps out of the deck chair and on the case. Now he's got to find out the truth: Is Daria a coldhearted killer or an innocent victim? And if she isn't the killer...who is?
