The eighth installment of the Mrs. Malory mysteries finds the amateur detective entertaining an old friend of her late husband--a boring and inept lawyer who pays a yearly visit to his friend's widow. But if he is so incompetent, why do three of her late husband's friends employ his services? Mrs. Malory discovers that the lawyer is blackmailing his "old friends," and further finds out that these one-time associates of her husband are not what they seem! -- From Amazon.com Product Description
