Accessory to Murder — Barbara Jaye Wilson

BRENDA WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A FRIEND. . .
Irrepressible Greenwich Village milliner Brenda Midnight has already proved shes as good at unmasking murdered as she is creating gravity-defying hats. This time shes in hot water. Worse, shes dragged others in with her--and all because shes willing to so anything for her friends--no questions asked.

ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT

A pair of wacky friends need a hand to get an embarrassing corpse out of the family feather showroom. Brenda is willing to help on one condition--that theyll dump the body at the city morgue, where itll be properly taken care of. In agreement, Brenda borrows a car from talent agent Lemmy Crenshaw. All goes according to plan except for one hitch--the friends hadnt revealed the whole truth. This was not a case of a bad ticker; this was murder. And, since Lemmys car was their temporary hearse, the cops nab him. To get the innocent agent off, Brenda is forced to put her spring line on hold and devote full time to unveiling the killer.
