Chapter's Bitter End

A dead man. Half a letter. And a story someone wanted to end.

Novelist John Chapter was charming enough to make them love him—and cruel enough to make someone put a dagger through his heart.

Rival author Christian Barnett publicly threatened Chapter in a drunken rage. He has motive to spare. What he doesn’t have is any memory of whether he committed murder or not. Now he faces trial, prison—even the electric chair.

For the police, it’s open-and-shut. For society reporter Lanie Price, it’s anything but.

Chapter was found clutching the remnant of a letter signed by a woman seven years gone. Was he reaching for comfort—or trying to identify his killer?

Price goes looking for an explanation—and finds a harder problem to solve than murder.

Saving one person may mean sacrificing another.
