Next of Kin

A young heiress turns amateur sleuth when a politician—the brother of the man she loves—is murdered in this Golden age mystery from an Edgar Award winner.

A former senator up for a prestigious cabinet appointment, Stuart Channing had everything to live for—power, influence, a beautiful wife. So when he's found dead behind the locked door of his study, everyone, from the public to the police, is perplexed. With a party in full swing just hours earlier, there is no end of suspects.

Late to the party, Mady Smith arrives on the arm of Hill "Chan" Channing, the senator's brother with whom she's been secretly in love. Mady is stunned by the death of the senator, a man she admired and hoped to work for. Instead, she assigns herself the job of finding the murderer—a task that becomes even more treacherous when the grieving widow makes a play for Chan. Now if only Mady could get to the truth, before the killer gets her.
