Alibi for a Cold Winter's Night — Ilsa Mayr

CHILLED TO THE BONE

Murder strikes a homeless shelter and fledgling private investigator Cybil Quindt volunteers in the kitchen to investigate. The first victim was found behind the wheel of the shelter delivery truck. The second, an elderly homeless woman, died after eating a shelter meal. Cybil wonders if the real target is the homeless…or the shelter itself, built on prime real estate.

Meanwhile, a case involving a very rich cheating husband puts her undercover in a local industrial company. She nails the cheater and the girlfriend, and she makes a surprising connection to the shelter -- but not before the lovers end up dead. Though the wife is the prime suspect, Cybil believes greed is a more likely motive for murder. She follows clues left in the killer's wake…straight into a very dangerous -- and tragic -- discovery.
