In this thrilling mystery from a Grand Master Award–winning author, a young woman is swept up into her employer's family drama, and murder.
Susan Beach is a secretary for millionaire G. M. Manders, Wall Street's financial wizard and advisor to the wealthy elite. His upstate New York home is a not-so-secret headquarters for conferences with business executives, and other unrelated affairs. Unfortunately, it's now become a crime scene.

Rose's relatives, all employed by Manders, had access to the house. Her sister stands to inherit a fortune. Manders' mistress is ready to become his new wife, but he professes his love for Susan. As she copes with her conflicted feelings for Manders, the list of suspects with multiple motives grows. And the killer among them is stalking Susan to ensure she can never reveal their identity . . .
