False Front, The Lucinda Pierce Mysteries

A woman is hanging from a balcony in a perfectly composed suicide scene. But her husband doesn’t buy it . . . and wants Lucinda Pierce to find the killer.

Candace Eagleton is dead and although it appears to be a suicide Homicide Lieutenant Lucinda Pierce is convinced it’s murder and is determined to find the killer.

Meanwhile, Charles Rowland gives FBI agent—and Lucinda’s boyfriend—Jack Lovett vague details linking another murder to someone at the heart of the US government. But before Jake can find out more, Charles bolts—and is killed. When a scrap of paper is found in Charles’s apartment with a list of names that includes Candace’s, it’s clear the two murders are linked—and there may be more to follow . . .

This is the fifth book in the critically acclaimed Lucinda Pierce Mysteries by Edgar Award–winning true-crime writer Diane Fanning.
