by Marian BabsonThe annual January sale at Bonnard's in London has always been the sale of the year, but this year--Bonnard's one hundredth anniversary sale--promises to be more special than ever before. For weeks, and in all the biggest newspapers in the world, Bonnard's has been advertising its plans to slash the prices on even the most expensive merchandise, and as usual buyers have begun to line up for the sale several days before the doors open. Dorothy Witson, a delightful woman who simply loves to stand on line, arrives five full days before the Bonnard's sale. She has her eye on a refrigerator- freezer for her niece and nephew. But, she is not first on line--she is third. In front of her is a young couple hoping to purchase a furniture set for their living room and a foreigner interested in buying two fur coats which he plans to sell for his own profit. Fed and cheered by their relatives, feted by the publicity-conscious Bonnard management, tolerated if not welcomed on their forays into the neighboring luxury hotel, Dorothy and her companions amusingly pass the time together. But not everyone in line is a zealous bargain-hunter; one of the people waiting for Bonnard's doors to open has murder on his mind. The identities of the killer and the intended victim are Marian Babson's skillfully kept secret as she unfolds the diverse personalities at the head of the line, their reasons--stated and otherwise--for being there, and the sometimes complex relationships that develop among them during the days and nights they spend encamped on the pavement.
