Final Proof
by Marie RenoMarcia Richardson was found slumped over a set of galley proofs on a Tuesday morning in mid-July. She had been dead at least twelve hours, the police estimated, shot twice through the head at close range by a .22 revolver. Although her fingers had been wrapped around the gun in a clumsy attempt to make the death look like suicide, there was little doubt she had been murdered. Marcia was editorial director of the Readers’ Circle, which ranks with Book-of-the-Month Club and the Literary Guild as one of the Big Three in book clubs. In the small, interconnected world of New York publishing, Marcia’s death set off shock waves. Among those most intimately affected was her friend and colleague, Karen Lindstrom, editor of a smaller book club: Mystery, Suspense, and Intrigue. As a longtime reader of Agatha Christie and Rex Stout, Karen was well acquainted with fictional crime, but she was hardly prepared to cope with the real thing. As an interested observer, however, she had a fund of information about Marcia and the world of publishing that seemed to exert an increasing fascination for Lieutenant Jack Morrison of the New York Police. He wasn’t quite sure he wanted her assistance in solving the case, but he kept inventing excuses to go back and see her again. And Karen was increasingly drawn to him. Together, though sometimes working at cross purposes, they checked out all the men and women in Marcia’s world. It was a chase that led in and out of the New York publishing scene to a surprising but eminently satisfying conclusion.
