Cold Flat Junction
by Martha Grimes
"Emma Graham, the heroine of Hotel Paradise, continues her compelling inquiry into the suspicious drowning forty years ago of another twelve-year-old in Spirit Lake, near the Hotel Paradise, the once-fashionable resort belonging to the Graham family. Emma Graham's quirky, mysterious story is spun out of old secrets and varnished truths. Emma is determined to find answers to the questions that surround not only the "accidental" drowning, but also to two unsolved murders that wind back to it.".
"Underlying Emma's intuitive grasp of people's motives, her irrepressible humor, and the vivid imagination that sustains her is something more sinister, a sense of her own danger. Emma's pursuit of the truth about these three "tragedies" is much more than an inquiry into murder; it's the story of how she delivers herself from the confusion of childhood."--BOOK JACKET.
