From Anthony and Agatha Award-winning author Elaine Viets--the thrilling mystery series about one woman trying to make a living... while other people are making a killing.
Helen Hawthorne is still on the run because of her refusal to pay her worthless ex-husband alimony.

With Peggy as the prime suspect in a murder, it's up to Helen to prove her friend innocent before the police throw the book at her...
