โThe San Diego Union
Law professor Mac has unflagging passion for two things in his life: his wife Annabel and the majestic Potomac River. When Mac discovers a weed-shrouded body in the latter, the former gets edgy. Lovely Annabel, owner of a flourishing Georgetown art gallery, must not only endure her husbandโs obsession with another killing, but she must believe Mac when he says that a stunning female former student is one of the only people who can help him.
They discover that the corpse was once the confidanteโ of a wealthy Washingtonian, which leads to the Scarlet Sin Society, a theatrical group thatโperilouslyโreenacts historical murders. And soon, the only thing that matters more to Mac than solving this serpentine case is preventing Annabelโs untimely death (.
"Truman โknows the forksโ in the nationโs capital and how to pitchfork her readers into a web of murder and detection."
