From the introduction by Les Standiford: "The truth is that Miami, though naturally lovely, is a frontier town, perched on the border between the known and the rarely before experienced. The poet Richard Hugo once said that the natural place for the writer was on the edge, and 'edge' might well be the definitive word when it comes to this city...

He's a serial killer. A murderer of young women, all killed in brutal attacks. But despite Hamish Wolfe's conviction, he's always stuck to his story - he's innocent, and he's been wrongly imprisoned. And now he wants someone to investigate and, more importantly, to write his story. Maggie Rose is a notorious defense attorney and writer whose specialty is getting convictions overturned. At first Maggie is reluctant to even acknowledge Hamish's requests to meet, ignoring his letters. But this is a very charismatic and persuasive man, good looking and intelligent.

Davon stand nichts im Testament... Cottages, englische Rosen und sanft geschwungene Hügel - das ist Earlsraven. Mittendrin: das "Black Feather". Dieses gemütliche Café erbt die junge Nathalie Ames völlig unerwartet von ihrer Tante - und deren geheimes Doppelleben gleich mit! Die hat nämlich Kriminalfälle gelöst, zusammen mit ihrer Köchin Louise, einer ehemaligen Agentin der britischen Krone. Und während Nathalie noch dabei ist, mit den skurrilen Dorfbewohnern warmzuwerden, stellt sie fest: Der Spürsinn liegt in der Familie.

The life of a researcher with ties to a British spy agency is thrown into chaos when his research goes missing.

But needling out the real culprit isn’t easy when everyone in town has a motive and an alibi.

People have a knack of dying where I happen to be, and evidence has a way of finding its way into my hands.

Nimmt das Wildbret des Waidmanns seiner Frau die Luft zum Atmen? Kann Aberglaube Leben retten? Und warum starb der Büchernarr? Schon die kleinsten Unaufmerksamkeiten können tödliche Folgen haben.
