A Death, a Will, and a Way

"Poison" is one of the last words Nedda Courtland's employer says to her.

Private secretary to a wealthy financier, Nedda has maintained a very British poise as she traveled the world. The New Orleans of 1925 brings it own unique flavor to her experiences. Yet nothing prepares her for Hyatt Ingram's claim of murder in the hours before his death.

With no evidence as proof, she can only fulfill Mr. Ingram's last wishes. Holding his absent son's voting proxy and a new will, Nedda expects the murderer to emerge in the chaos she will create as executrix.

She never expects another murder.

"Spanish Moss" is the first of three novelettes in this tie-in series to M.A. Lee's Sailing Into Mystery stories and Into Death novels featuring the artist Isabella Newcombe Tarrant. Nedda Courtland enters 1925 America with these stories as she is Courting Trouble.
