Perilous Homecoming — Genevieve Slear

When Janice Ingrahm went to her grandfather's bedside, she never thought it would be to hear his last words. "Always wanted Sudden Wealth Ridge, didn't you?" Could that mean that the north Michigan estate with its vast, icy plains of snow was hers? Yet Janice was the only one who cared that the "accidents" surrounding Grandfather's death were too strange to be mere coincidence.

Suddenly, Grayson, a suave poet living visibly beyond his means, made seductive offers of marriage. Grandfather's business partner, husky Tom Eklund, grew more and more attentive. And when her jealous cousins made no effort to hide their greed, Janice knew that those dying words made her the murderer's next target!

Hero: Tom Eklund
Heroine: Janice "Jan" Ingraham
