She discovers a common link between the victims; they all had some connection to the heiress. She summons a court of inquiry and exposes an unlikely killer in a nail-biting finale... Inside her conservatory lies the dead body of Aunt Hilda, face down; bludgeoned to death by a blunt instrument.

Contributor Bio:  Green, Jim ABOUT THE AUTHOR: I was employed in our Criminal Justice System for a cumulative 20 years as a probation officer, with 5 of those years as a chief probation officer. I authored the concept of "Shock Incarceration" which became law in Kansas in 1970, and then was adopted in numerous jurisdictions in the U. S. and also spread to Europe-it is currently identified in the U. S. as "Boot Camp" [as the means to "shock" the young offender-and a total distortion of my original intent-like many ideas, once released, they take on a life of their own]. I also instigated establishment of the first Court Psychiatric Clinic in the U. S., in conjunction with psychiatrists from the Menninger Foundation, as a chief probation officer. Finally, I was the Democrat candidate for Congress, District 21, TX, 2000. I would most define myself as a Social Ecologist-- [albeit my degree is in Psychology]. My web page is www. Inclusivism.org -which has been on the internet since 1996.
