Title Details

Bone agrees to probate the estate of Jennifer Winston, a young woman who once dreamed of becoming a writer. She is a single parent. Oddly, she's been making good money, apparently as an editor, but Bone can't find a single client. And, the money stops after she is killed. Her interviews with a local "meth" connection brought her threats. Neither Phillip Martin, her college professor, nor Jim Ashley, her college teammate, has any ideas about her "clients." Martin wrote a best seller, years before, that was made into a movie. Ashley has had a number of best sellers and also movie credits. Gossip suggests that Jennifer might have been closer to the men, both married, than either will admit. As Bone's search for the sources of her income intensifies, he ends up running for his life in the Mississippi swamps and almost ends up dead. He finds out that Ashely's was behind it all.
