When arrogant media magnate Chase Prescott is nearly killed by a box of cyanide laced candy, he dials his long-ago lover, retired newshound Henrietta O'Dwyer Collins, with a simple request: he'll assemble all the suspects if Henrie O will kindly point out the would-be murderer. It's a case - her first - that fills Henrie O with grave misgivings, espcially when she arrives on Chase's private island off the South Carolina coast to meet the players in this deadly drama. Between Prescott's unstable young wife, his sullen stepson and his toady of a secretary, she has trouble narrowing the field of suspects - even when a second attempt is made on Chase's life. As Henrie O unearths a will and fascinating new evidence, a killer hurricane sweeps up from Cuba, threatening to maroon them in this vacation hell ... where the trappings of luxury are put to lethal use and the secrets of the past have the power to engulf them all.
