Change Comes To Grantham

Well, it had to happen. After so many years of stability - the same shops, the same hangouts, the same neighbours - change had to come to Benny Cooperman. Many of the stores in Grantham are closing or changing owners. Benny is urged by Frank Bushmill, his neighbour and friend, to change too. He urges Benny to go on a holiday. Instead, Benny finds himself acting as a bodyguard to an old high school heartthrob, who is now a major executive with a television network. She returned home to find that a houseguest had been shot dead. Stella, or Vannessa as she is now known, is afraid that she was the intended target. Benny looks into the case and finds himself entangled in office politics, corrupt lawyers and musical stars. Meanwhile, Benny leads the cops to the real killer. As usual, an excellent read, and one of the better in the series, I think.
