Synopsis: Murder is in the cards this Valentine&’s Day. &“Never quite cozy and never quite tough, this tale combines the best of both styles to stunning effect&” (Publishers Weekly). Psychiatrist Paul Hazzard was renowned for his insights into the human mind, until his wife was savagely murdered. She was stabbed to death with an ornamental dagger, a grisly crime for which Paul was tried but never convicted. Four years later, to escape his greedy family and his former mistress, Paul takes an unlikely lover: the homely, middle-aged Hannah Krekorian. Hannah&’s neighbors, including former FBI agent Gregor Demarkian, are charmed by the sudden romance—until they find her holding an antique dagger over Paul&’s bloody body. The police are convinced of Hannah&’s guilt, but Demarkian knows his neighbor could never stab Paul to death. Hannah&’s valentine may be gone, but if Gregor works a miracle, she&’ll have something even better come February 14th: her freedom.
