Death in Lilac Time
A PI and his wife just want some fun at the Kentucky Derby—but murder is a horse of a different color . . .

Private investigator Pat Abbott and his wife, Jean, are looking forwarding to seeing Pat’s old World War II buddy and taking in the splendor of the Kentucky Derby—but they didn’t bet on murder. When Pat’s friend, Dr. Seth Godwin, tells them about the death of one of his patients, a self-destructive alcoholic whose estranged wife is accused of slipping him some cyanide, duty calls once again. The victim’s family despises Jane Mallory—but what looks like a cut-and-dried case grows more complicated when the dead man’s will is read . . .
