A Pinch of Poison

At a swanky rooftop restaurant in
New York, a pair of husband-and-wife sleuths must find out who spiked a
woman’s drink with murder . . .
 
There’s a stunning view
from the top of the Ritz-Plaza Hotel, but it pales in comparison to Lois
Winston’s beauty. She arrives on the arm of David McIntosh—an agreeable
young man who would marry her if she gave him the chance—to take in the
scenery, eat a light supper, and forget the busy world below. Lois’s
first cocktail lifts her spirits, helping her dispel the strange sadness
that tugs at her soul. But her second drink isn’t so kind. Lois isn’t
halfway done with her Cuba libre when her cheeks grow hot, her breath
becomes short, and she falls dead to the floor.
 
Solving the
case of this terribly fashionable murder falls to New York Police
Department’s Lt. William Weigand, who tackles the investigation with the
help of his friends, Jerry and Pamela North. The effervescent couple
will catch the killer between cocktails—unless the poisoner targets
their glasses next.
