A Midtown Murder Mystery. Kansas City police detective and psychic profiler, Clara Carson, and the unlikely detective, Jack Jackson, join forces again in solving their second cold case murder mystery. In September, 1936, in spite of the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression, twenty-four-year-old heiress Pony Boyd remains one of the richest and most powerful in town, and won't let anyone forget it. Pony and her estranged husband, the handsome Dr. Ed Evans, have just returned from their summer in Europe when she dies a violent death during a welcome-home party being given in her honor. She dies wearing an extravagant necklace of jewels that once belonged to Russian royalty. Despite multiple suspects, including her husband, his nurse, and most of the people closest to her, the coroner rules Pony's bizarre death was accidental. Now, more than fifty years later, Pony's grand house lies derelict, abandoned, and untouched. Her bedroom is just as she left it, even her personal automobile is still in the garage, but everything must be cleared out and sold. The task falls to the only remaining heir, the nephew of Ed's second wife. He contacts Jack and Clara for help when he finds hidden treasure in the house, along with long-hidden clues about Pony's death that can no longer be ignored. Second in series.
