Vacations Can Be Murder
When Death Doesn't Take a Holiday

Albuquerque TV News Director Casey Brandt and deejay Stu McKnight need a vacation. But before they unpack at their Catskill Mountain retreat, their host discovers the body of a prom queen who vanished 26 years earlier. When an autopsy reveals she'd been pregnant, fingers point at her prom-night escort. The district attorney rushes in to arrest him, but Casey believes he's innocent. She and Stu delve into the past to uncover the secret life of the slain prom queen and a series of suspects including a cantankerous caretaker, a social-climbing stepfather, an aging actor and a jealous runner-up. Before they learn the truth, someone tries to kill Casey, another member of the prom court dies, and a can't-fail plan to catch the killer does just that.
