The Fruitcake Murders
by Collins, Ace;
As Christmas 1946 draws near, 30-something Marine officer-turned-homicide detective Lane Walker has his hands full. Three men with seemingly no relationship to each other have been murdered, including the powerful District Attorney. All were killed by 20-year-old, unopened fruitcake tins from a company no longer in business. While some foods may be to die for, fruitcake isn’t one of them! Then along comes the determined and feisty Tiffany Clayton, a political reporter, who gets in the way. Employing witty dialogue, historical accuracy, and characters with spiritual sensibilities, The Fruitcake Murders offers equal parts murder, mystery, and mayhem in a perplexing whodunit set in the days just after World War II.
