Book description
Good food, rich company and a great story on how the other half lives combine for an assignment free-lance journalist Cat Marsala just can't pass up. Except for the fact that all this making merry will take place on a gorgeous sixty-two foot sloop - and Cat hates boats and water. The yacht's passenger list reads like a television drama - complete with characters whose real lives are laced with passion, scandal, vengeance... and murder. The killer strikes behind a locked door, and there are witnesses to prove no one went in or out of the victim's stateroom. It's a crime that couldn't have happened. Now Cat is hunting a killer in the middle of Lake Michigan, facing a killer on board, a storm tossing them about dangerously, a dead engine, then becalming, and a food supply down to caviar, champagne and Cheez Whiz...
