Who knifed Sterling &amp; Sterling partner Robert Cheswick and left him in the Partners' Room with his fly open? Retired personnel manager T.S. Hubbert, hauled back to the office to field the press, cannot resist the challenge of this scandalous mystery. While the police focus on a possible insider-trading connection, Hubbert, strongly coached by his feisty eighty-four-year-old Auntie Lil, explores the personal angle. Lil insists the killer is a woman. Certainly the bank has its share of lethal ladies on staff -- not to mention Cheswick's elegant, ungrieving widow. Together Hubbert and Lil follow their hunches far afield, through deep secrets and more encounters with death. . . . "Deftly plotted and well-paced . . . Two wonderful sleuths made their debut." -- San Francisco Chronicle

But the list becomes one less when Max's favorite nephew turns up dead in his uncle's freshly dug grave.Eighty-something Auntie Lil and her own nephew T. S. Hubbert set forth on a dangerous quest that takes them from the sophisticated world of fashion to the lethal underworld of murderous thugs, and from the white-collar realm of corporate embezzlers to the skeleton-stuffed closets of unloving relatives. The two sleuths just hope they can solve the murder and clear Max's name before the killer gets to them...."AUNTIE LIL IS DELIGHTFULLY FEISTY."--Publishers Weekly

Death of a Dream Maker (Partners in Crime Mysteries #3)

"Auntie Lil is delightfully feisty." --Publishers Weekly THE MURDER IS A SHOWSTOPPER. At the high point of the Metropolitan Ballet's production of The Nutcracker, a hanged body swings across center stage. The body belongs to show business hotshot Bobby Morgan, father of the production's child star. There's chaos among the dancers and in the boardroom. The media go wild. Only octogenarian board member Auntie Lil remains calm, as alert as a cat at a mouse hole, ready to pounce on a killer. But she and her nephew T. S. Hubbert have their work cut out, because it's soon clear that most people thought hanging was too good for Morgan, whose specialty was settling old scores. Dancers, board members, backstage crew--all had the motive and the opportunity to kill. But only one of them had the nerve. Fast thinking and fancy footwork lead Auntie Lil to the truth--and a pas de deux with a murderer. . . . "GRAY'S WRITING STYLE IS . . . DELIGHTFUL." --Associated Press
