Another Man's Murder

Murder among Florida orange groves mars a young army vet’s homecoming in this classic mystery from “one of America’s favorite writers” (Mary Higgins Clark).

“Mignon Eberhart is one of the great ladies of twentieth-century mystery fiction.” —John Jakes

After a six-year absence, Cayce Clary has returned to Florida lake country and his childhood home to confront his past, but he doesn’t like what he sees. His once-rich orange groves are doing poorly in his uncle’s care, turning his reunion with the old man into a violent quarrel. As Cayce leaves for the airport, he declares he will only come back when his uncle is dead. Unfortunately, that is sooner than Cayce thinks.

When the uncle is found shot to death, Cayce is soon fighting for his life and his land. Although many hated the old man, Cayce had motive, means, and opportunity, making him the prime suspect. Fortunately, the Howard sisters, Dodie and Midge, believe he is innocent. To prove it, one of them will play right into a killer’s hands . . .
