Broken Star

<p>Ed McBain meets Jane Austen in this witty and sharp-edged introduction to the sleuthing duo of Elizabeth Blair and Max Shepard. Wry and down-to-earth Elizabeth is a widow who has forsaken her native Turkey Creek, Virginia, for a genteel English existence selling patchwork quilts in the picturesque town of Bath. What could be more quaint and placid?<br>But instead of charming vicars and elegant solicitors for neighbors, Elizabeth has Max - a handsome private-eye-cum-ladies-man who makes his living probing the dark secrets behind Bath's "quaint village" facade.<br>Broken Star: to Elizabeth, a quilt pattern; to Max, the unpopular television celebrity who needs the P.I. to clear him of a murder charge. When another death forges a connection between both stars, Max and Elizabeth join forces to sew up the case in this first in a literate and lethal series of quilt-pattern crime novels.</p>
