Dead Days of Summer - (Death on Demand) by Carolyn Hart (Paperback)

About the Book

A mysterious and brutal killer has framed Max Darling, and it's up to Annie to find her missing husband and clear his name in this 17th installment of Hart's acclaimed and award-winning Death on Demand series.

From the Back Cover

Annie Darling, owner of the Death on Demand mystery bookstore, is understandably upset. It isn't like her p.i. husband Max to abruptly disappear--and homicide is definitely not his style. But when his car is found abandoned on a remote road with a brutally slain, once-beautiful young woman nearby and the murder weapon stashed in the trunk, Annie's worst fears seem justified.

The police have Max all but tried and convicted--except for Chief Billy Cameron, whose unshakable belief in his friend's innocence prompts his removal from the case. And as a media circus descends on tiny Broward's Rock, Annie will have to place her own life in jeopardy to clear her husband's name. But time is running out--and she has only one slim chance to unmask a killer who just may have committed the perfect crime.
