Murder in the Abstract — Susan C. Shea

A posh evening gala is in full swing when tragedy strikes at San Francisco's Devor museum. An acclaimed new artist plunges to his death from an upper office window. As bad luck would have it, it's the office of the museum's chief fundraiser, Dani O'Rourke. But before Dani can toss back the rest of her champagne in shock, she's the prime suspect. She and the deceased had a brief affair and the police found a note from her in his pocket, urging him to meet her that night.

Dani didn't write any note, but somebody hacked into her computer to make it look as if she did. Who is setting her up for murder? She looks for answers in his paintings, old, new -- and, perhaps, fake. Soon a missing abstract and a little black book paint a picture of greed, manipulation and murder...and reveal a canvas of death that includes Dani herself.
