What do a ruthless land developer, a philandering minister, a rich widow, a bankrupt Wall St trader and 13 authors have in common? One rousingly humorous serial mystery!
(Each acclaimed author pens only one chapter)

The story opens with each of three residents of the posh community of Gryphon Gate receiving a threatening fax. All are told to meet with their blackmailer at the sixth hole of the golf course at 8 pm. They arrive in sequence and each privately discovers the body of the resident sociologist who has been intently studying their community. Each person leaves the body in place so that it is “discovered” the next morning.

Detective Diane Robards is called in to head the investigation and learns that the powerful residents of this monied Washington D.C. suburb have plenty of secrets to hide. As the body count rises she discovers dangerous liaisons, bribery, lust, a werewolf and plot twists that add spice to the confusion.

After all, 13 creative authors can come up with some brilliant schemes. Sorting it all out is left to the last author who does so with finesse
