About this ebook

Alex Gregg liked nothing better than to live in the quiet of his antique business and the tranquil county side. Absent of ambition a great cup of coffee, a warm fire, a good book and a life without conflict was all that he desired, but he had a talent for attracting trouble and unraveling problems and fate had different plans as it had so often in the past. A simple commission to authenticate an antique to supplement his cash starved business would shatter his tranquility and lead to death on his doorstep. At the center of the mystery is a wealthy, dysfunctional family in the entitled hunt country of western New Jersey. Everywhere he turns there are labyrinths of suspects, motives and ultimately death. Surrounded by intrigue and forced to prove his innocence Alex is torn between two strong, sultry women and an overbearing detective. At each turn the murderer remains a step ahead of him. Threatened and endangered Alex pursues with the tenacity of a pit bull so long as there is time for a good meal and a glass of wine. The same skills he used in the antique world, intuition and deduction would keep him on track, but at his own peril. He knew how and why, but did he know who? How could he have imagined a simple rhyme about a cat would hold the answer, but would justice be served?
