Duenna to a Murder

Melissa Tyler, who has just inherited incredible wealth, comes to the Harden Detective Agency claiming she needs protection from crank letters and any possible trouble involving her family. This is a vast understatement as Margot, the poised young woman from Harden's, learns when she returns with Melissa to South Carolina. In a languorous town dominated by conservative old families, Mrs. Tyler's husband is unique. A former carnival knife-thrower covered with tattoos, he presents a fantastic social problem. To make things more desperate, his daughter -- on the verge of a concert debut --jilts one of the town's favorite sons...and shows marked interest in a handsome, somewhat sinister newcomer. The situation becomes literally deadly when the body of a murdered man is found in the driveway of the Tyler home -- and what has been mere scandal turns into horror!
