Description
"Small town life had never seemed so mysterious - or deadly - until Kit Deleeuw, the Suburban Detective, debuted in the acclaimed Death by Station Wagon. Now, in his second case, forty-something ex-Wall Streeter Kit takes us behind the scenes of his seemingly placid home town to show us, once again, what happens when violence lurks just behind the walls of comfortable suburbia." "Attorney Marianne Dow is convinced that someone is deliberately targeting her family for destruction. At first show more Kit wonders if this is just a case of a suburban marriage disintegrating under the pressure of careers and growing children. Then Marianne's husband is found dead in the bathtub and Marianne disappears. As Kit races the clock to locate the only person who can prove Marianne's innocence - a terrifying killer who uses families' vulnerabilities with systematic, cold-blooded intent - he realizes the truth is rarely as simple as it appears." "A unique hero for the middle class, Kit Deleeuw is sure to attract yet more fans as he comments wryly on teenage rites of passage and the intricacies of lawn improvement, juggles his new career with everyday domestic frustrations, and, in the midst of mortgages, malls, and suburban chaos, uncovers a family stalker with a surprisingly twisted point of view."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
