The Balloon Man — Charlotte MacLeod

HOT AIR ...AND A COLD CORPSE
Sarah Kelling has her nephew's wedding perfectly planned, including an outdoor reception at their Boston mansion. But she doesn't anticipate a hot-air balloon landing on the wedding tent or the squashed body beneath it! Even psychic cousin Theonia doesn't predict the reappearance of the long-lost Kelling rubies among the wedding gifts. Rising to the occasion, Sarah's shamus husband, Max Bittersohn, investigates...until he vanishes into thin air. Now with the entire eccentric Kelling clan searching for Max, will anyone notice the danger descending toward Sarah's three-year-old son? Soon the people Sarah cherishes most may be doomed unless she gets to the bottom of this ballooning mystery...one of Charlotte MacLeod's very best!
