Mantrap: the Boston Uncommons Mysteries (Volume 2) Arlene Kay

Eja and Demming are taking this mystery out for a spin!

Munitions heir Dario Peters has a yen for competitive cycling and cash. When he suffers a fatal crash on a Cape Cod bike path, everyone calls it a tragic accident. But his doting grandma knows better.

Persus Cantor begs amateur sleuths Eja Kane and Deming Swann-her nephew-to come to Bayview and investigate the case. The newly engaged duo finds that Dario was a ne'er-do-well with a host of enemies in the upscale Cape Cod village. A scheming psychic, an enraged environmentalist, and a greedy realtor all wanted him dead, not to mention his tempestuous wife, Paloma.

Through it all, Eja and Deming continue their sizzling romance. Only a brainy bestselling author like Eja can match a man like Deming, whose movie star looks, smarts, and sophistication are enough to dazzle even the bad guys.
