Deadly Relations - MaryAnn Kempher

Family reunions shouldn't be deadly.

Detective Jack Harney's plan to attend the wedding of his good friends, Katherine and Scott, up in Virginia City is put into jeopardy when a man is murdered mere hours after Jack's arrival. Tourism has been slow lately, so the city's Mayor plans a publicity stunt: Bring together the descendent of a popular madam murdered one hundred and fifty years ago and the descendent of the man thought to be her killer. The event is called, the Reconciliation. Unfortunately, or not, depending on your point of view, the killer's descendent is murdered at the opening ceremony.

There is no shortage of suspects. The town's Sheriff is taken ill, so it's up to Jack and Gaga Albright to try to find the killer.

Meanwhile, back in Reno, Nene Albright-mischievous as always, views her sister's absence as a chance to do something Gaga would not approve of--travel with Victor Burch, of all people, up to a Lake Tahoe ski resort. They encounter strange occurrences, sinister looking men, and something odd is definitely going on. Burch just wants to ski, but he can't very well let Nene investigate on her own, can he?

Will Jack find the killer in time to attend Scott and Katherine's wedding? Will Nene and Burch discover why rooms are off limits and unsavory looking men are sneaking around the ski lodge

Only one way to find out.
