To Perish in Penzance A Dorothy Martin Mystery
A thirty-year-old death haunts Alan Nesbitt, former Chief Constable in Cornwall. Back in 1968, a beautiful twenty-year-old girl was found dead on the rocks, presumably having jumped from the cliffs. All that was known about her was her age, that she had had a child six months earlier, and that she weighed about ninety pounds. Nesbitt got nowhere with the investigation, and he regrets it. Fortunately, he is now married to sleuth Dorothy Martin, who gets on the case directly. Only a few days later, a model she's just met meets a similar end, and the parallels between the two cases begin to add up.
