Fifty-Seven Heaven — Lonnie Cruse

The judges at the annual antique car show are the first ones to view the tangled, strangled corpse of Will Ann Lloyd in the trunk of the restored '57 classic automobile. Naturally, the car's owner, Jack Bloodworth, is disqualified. And his devoted wife, Kitty-- cousin to the late Will Ann--becomes the prime suspect when police learn that Will Ann announced to an entire crowd the previous night that Kitty's daughter, Sunny, was a tramp. Motive enough for murder.

Determined to clear her name--and her daughter's reputation--Kitty digs into the life and possessions of the universally loathed Will Ann, and discovers clues that raise some shocking questions. Why had Will Ann hired a private detective? Moreover, what kind of deep, dark secrets is Sunny hiding? With the killer poised to strike again, Kitty races to find the truth, before the road to ruin leads six feet under.
