Robert J. Randisi, Christine Matthews

Worldwide, 2003 - Fiction - 253 pages

Three women are found smothered to death in front of their televisions in a curious manner: each was found staring blindly at the screen while Claire Hunt, the host of "Home Mall, encouraged them to pick up the phone for the deal of the day. Not one to sit by and let her good reputation--or that of her top-rated show--go down the drain, Claire and her devoted husband, Gil, decide that it's time to go shopping... for a killer! And soon Claire is bargaining for her life with a murderer.
