About this book
AMONG RICH NORTHEASTERN SUBURBANITES POLITICS CAN BE POISON. Hancock Connecticut--a historic enclave of wealth and conservatism--is in the final heat of a three-way mayoral election when long-shot candidate Ivan Deakin takes a sip of cyanide-laced water and is retired to the morgue. His murder exacerbates an already fierce controversy over proposed changes in rules governing the landmark status of local real estate--changes that would drastically alter property values. Like everyone else amateur sleuth Susan Henshaw suspects unusually dirty politics and when her husband--whos running for town council--is tarred in the general smearing Susan gets serious about finding Ivans killer. But the possibilities are myriad for Ivan Deakin was a political loose cannon and the murkiness of his business deals is matched only by the notoriety of his romantic adventures. . . .
