Two parents die and two families mourn, in very different ways.
Amateur sleuth Steve Levitan and his clue-sniffing golden retriever Rochester face two deaths in the 12th full-length novel in this long-running series. An Alzheimer's patient slips away from home on his own and tumbles into the Delaware River. And then Steve's love Lili suffers the crushing loss of her mother in a Miami Beach hospital. Eckhardt Lalor left behind a fortune in real estate, a fractured family, and a bitter legacy as a city slumlord. Does that add up to murder? There's no question of what killed Benita Weinstock--a dodgy heart--but her death rocks her daughter's world, and Steve's. It will be up to Rochester to solve the crime and heal his humans in this new mystery with heart -- and fur!
