Short Cut (Ruby Crane mysteries)
By Jo Dereske
It was a long way from northern Michigan to the mountains of Albuquerque. But the distance between Ruby Crane and her glamorous, successful sister, Phyllis, was even greater. Until Phyllis trekked through the Michigan snow in her designer boots to beg Ruby for help. A boy had died on a construction site, and Phyllis, the engineer on the project, was being blamed – for a design she claimed someone had altered. While Ruby, an expert in handwriting analysis, looks for forgery, a sudden, vicious murder changes everything. Now a stalker is lurking around her sister’s once-elegant life. And for the two sisters, the time has come for unspoken words – and a fight for both their lives.
