<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A Chicago department store is the scene of gruesome crime in this mystery by a <i>New York Times</i>-bestselling Edgar Award winner.</b> <p/> Linell Wynn, copywriter for Chicago department store Cunningham's, knows how to put a clever spin on everything. But she's at a loss for words when, after closing time, she finds a corpse in a window display. There he is, as cold and lifeless as a mannequin, his skull pulverized with a golf club: valued store manager Michael "Monty" Montgomery. And while red might be the color for the new spring season, Linell never expected to see quite so much of it . . . <p/> Linell had a history with the too-charming-to-be-believed victim--and being intimately acquainted with his cruel side has made her a suspect in his murder. But as everyone at Cunningham's knows, finding someone who <i>didn't</i> want Monty dead would be tough. When a second murder throws the store detective off track, Linell is plunged into the investigation. Now, she's working after hours to find a killer, and she has more to lose than her job. <p/> The recipient of an Agatha Award for Lifetime Achievement, "Phyllis Whitney is, and always will be, the Grand Master of her craft" (Barbara Michaels).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for Phyllis A.
