the second deadly sin Author:lawrence sanders Victor Maitland was a giant among modern artists and was enormously famous and highly popular. But to those that knew him, he was a twisted man, who was scorned by his son, who betrayed his wife, and repelled by all who tried to befriend him. When they discovered his body face down in a pool, the victim of a savage knife attack, there were few... more » among his family, friends and associates who mourned his passing, while many stood to profit by it.
The ex-chief detective Edward X. Delaney is drawn out of retirement to discover who has done this ghastly crime.
Lawrence Sander's Deadly Sin series is EXCELLENT. I highly recommend the entire series. It's an oldie but a goodie and hard to put down once you start. 2 thumbs up!
