When Push Comes to Death

There are some things in her new life that Tommi Poag, now working for a North Carolina insurance broker, could do without. Like a claim call from the ex-husband who dumped her after thirty-three years of marriage. Or worse, his news about the death of a mutual friend, Cap Sellars. Tommi befriended Cap's bubbly wife, Nina, when the woman came into the office to transfer her husband's million-dollar policy. Now Cap is dead, and Nina is accused of homicide.

And Bernard, Tommi's ex, is her defense lawyer.

Determined to give Nina all the help she can get, Tommi digs into the couple's past--unearthing some curious skeletons. Soon death threats and a stalker prove Tommi has upset somebody's best-laid plans. But a chance to help her friend--and show up her ex--keeps her motivated and, with luck, among the living, even as a killer draws near.
