By Bonita Wagner

Murder and mayhem run amok when newlyweds, Kaye Wells, mystery novelist, and Nick Tanner, private investigator, meet author Daphne Purcel at a writer's conference in Kerrville, Texas. Best known for her romance novels, Daphne is riding high with the success of her first mystery, Caught in the Act. Her book is based on a true story which her husband told her about just before his death. How years ago he helped cover-up the murder of a blackmailer who had seen some male college students kill and bury the body of a young woman they had tried to rape.The next morning after Daphne hires Nick to find out who has been making death threats against her, Kaye and Nick find Daphne dead in her bed, and a Voodoo gris-gris lying on her kitchen floor.Did Daphne die because of a Voodoo curse? Or was it a heart attack? Or possibly revenge? Feeling obligated to find the answer, Kaye and Nick investigate.The word gets out at the conference that Caught in the Act is based on a true story and that is why Daphne was killed. Sales of the novel triple and the list of suspects grows. Was it Daphne's pubicist, or agent, who are basking in the overwhelming success of the book?Was it the crazed fan who believed that Daphne stole her story?Was it Daphne's best friend because she found out Daphne and her husband were having an affair? Or the Santaria witch she hired?Was it Daphne's husband's ex-business partner who is up to his eyeballs in debt to a loan shark and will inherit her portion of the business and a nice insurance pay-out?One by one the suspects start to die off. The question then, is why?
