The Poetry of Murder

FINAL VERSE

Life for aspiring poet Geneva Anderson -- working on her craft out of International House, the University of Chicago's creative melting pot -- suddenly takes an ominous turn when she finds the body of her beloved aunt Victoria, brutally murdered. Geneva is stunned upon learning she is the sole heir to her aunt's million-dollar fortune. How did she get that kind of money on her salary as director of International House? And was it this secret fortune that got her killed?

When Geneva's massive inheritance makes her the primary suspect in the case, she starts digging into her aunt's past and finds a tangle of blackmail, suicide and madness -- and another victim. But to clear her name, she must find the one person who wanted Victoria dead for reasons that had nothing to do with money -- and everything to do with revenge.
