Used to KillAlthough she has experienced her share of problems, private investigator Gwenn Ramadge has never seen a situation as troublesome as that of her client Emma Trent. Police believe the twice widowed Trent is responsible for the deaths of both husbands. Unable to prove anything when her first husband died, the police are determined to nail her now for the death of number two, despite scant physical evidence. Because they have a motive that links Trent so completely to this crime, even normally optimistic Gwenn has doubts about her ability to prove Emma Trent's innocence. But the case takes an unexpected turn when Gwenn discovers the presence of a mysterious woman whose life is somehow entwined with Trent's. Aware that this shadowy figure may be the key to her client's defense, Gwenn must use every trick in the book to track her down. Convinced that Trent's arrest would be a miscarriage of justice, Gwenn vows to unmask the real killer and set Trent free - no matter what the cost. With Used to Kill, it's easy to see why Publishers Weekly calls Gwenn Ramadge "another winner, an attractive and intelligent private eye". |
