A Fighting Chance

A murder suspect must root out a killer a prove himself innocent in this charming whodunit from "America's Agatha Christie" (The Star). Five years ago, Jim Wingate, the son of a famous author, was lured to the house of a man he barely knew, only to find the aspiring painter shot dead. Picking up the gun was his first mistake. The second was fleeing when he saw the evidence mounting against him. After finding work and sanctuary in Africa, Jim returns to the East Coast, and to the love of his life whom he left behind. Once his bride to be, now a successful writer living in New York City, Julie Farnham has never doubted his innocence. She'll do anything it takes to help Jim clear his name, even if it means delving into family secrets—including Jim's questionable parentage—back in their Connecticut hometown. With the help of friends, relatives, a rambunctious poodle, and an inscrutable Siamese cat, the reunited couple race to uncover the truth, before the law—and the real killer—catch up to them both . . .
