No one takes seriously the assertions of the unpopular owner, Havia Selwyn-Tuck, that her pet was deliberately targeted, but when Havia herself dies of suspected food poisoning, doubts begin to surface." "To Melissa's consternation, Sylvia decides to do some detective work, and some interesting questions are raised. Why do the once-married couple ignore one another in company but make a secret rendezvous in the grounds? What was their connection with the deceased? Do the two gay actors fit into the puzzle? Can Sylvia trust the confidante whom she has roped into her investigation'?" "When another resident is taken ill, Melissa becomes seriously concerned for her mother's safety. With the aid of local journalist Bruce Ingram she starts her own investigation and in so doing puts her own life in jeopardy."--BOOK JACKET.
