Murder in Waiting

LET SLEEPING MURDER LIE — Icon of the sixties record and TV scene Jenni Hilton had vanished following the suicide of universally despised recording mogul Barry Kershaw. Now she wants to manage a carefully controlled comeback. An interview with The Chronicle is the first step. — Gus Maltravers smelled one hell of an angle. His interview with the elusive star confirms his gut theory: a conspiracy of silence has been protecting not only a killer, but also the witness who had lied to damn a man they all hated.

Another shocking death puts Maltravers on the trail of an ancient scheme of revenge by someone ready to even the score--someone whose life has been fueled for twenty years on a burning dream of vengeance.
