| Publisher Description: Private detective Otto Samalson sees the tail--a black Toronado he can't shake. One dark window rolls down, exposing the barrel of a gun, and the detective is dead. Otto had already known his days were numbered and said as much to his friend, attorney Matthew Hope. Having hired Otto to watch a cheating husband for a client, Matthew is now left with only Otto's tape recorder, filled with proof of an affair. But could the evidence lead to something larger, something that would drive a man to kill? Meanwhile, a mysterious woman is on the run, her face and name unknown to all except two stepsisters who couldn't care less if a violent pair of Cubans got their hands on her. If Matthew can decipher the clues in Otto's evidence, there's a chance he could reach the girl first and save her life. A chilling addition to the Matthew Hope series from Ed McBain, Cinderella is the tale of a woman known by many names and the men who will do anything to find her. |
