Susan Melville certainly doesn't look the part of a fierce assassin. But the prim middle-aged spinster plays that role to the hilt when the occasion demands it. Although her free-lance hit-lady days are over, she still dabbles in a meaningful murder, if the victim is deserving. But this time, she's bound and determined to uncover another kind of mystery and exact a very personal revenge. With her U.N. connections and some high-class finagling, Susan is in the right place to vindicate the death of her own father -- murdered at the hands of a vicious South American dictator years ago. Ever the correct society matron, Miss Melville hits on the perfect plan -- until a few purposeful accidents and overlooked details threaten to send disaster her way . . . . "Witty, sophisticated and amusing." --Roanoke Times & World-News No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

When the super of her building is killed by a drunk with diplomatic immunity, Miss Melville begins a quiet crusade against badly-behaved diplomats. She sets her sights on a Latin American dictator who may have killed her father and plots to get close enough to him when he visits New York. Her path is obstructed by New Age gurus, old money friends and a very personable young artist, but she and the reader are in for a surprise.
Written with tongue firmly implanted in cheek, this is a witty novel but the plot sort of slithers all over the place. Fun. ( )
