Camille Howland Mariani, retired college public relations director, journalist, and newspaper editor, is the author of several magazine articles, as well as the SUNY Canton College history, Seventy Years of Change. Having turned to writing fiction, she previously published Lucille's Lie. The Maine native resides with her husband, Albert J. Mariani, in Sun City Center, Florida. On returning to her home city of Twin Ports, Maine, Dee Major learns that her mother, Aletha, is dead. Officials call the hanging a suicide. But Dee has good reason to believe it is murder as well as a far-reaching conspiracy. To learn the truth, Dee must find Aletha's will. Just when it appears that she has the evidence to prove her theory, her own courage and will to live are put to the test by the egocentric murderer.
