Highboy (New England Cozy, 3) [Mass Market Paperback]

Steve Sherman (Author)

Book Description

Series: New England Cozy, 3 | Publication Date: May 1, 2001

In Steve Sherman's continuing series, this time ex-police detective Hugh Quint drives north to see an old Harvard chum, inventor Miles Cooper, whose schemes are as fluffy as his mother's frosted cupcakes. The sudden murder of the family lawyer and the disappearance (kidnapping?) of Miles' sister Amy draw Quint into the chase of his life through the White Mountains. When a slick trick in Mrs. Sarah Cooper's will is revealed, an extremely valuable Dunlap highboy chest of drawers made in the 18th century turns into a motive for murderous mischief. Once only the seasons changed in sleepy Longfield, New Hampshire, but soon it's Welcome to Psychoville. This back-country mystery with an "Antiques Road Show" twist has suspects popping out of the woodwork like rusty nails.
