Out of the Shadow
Pretty young Martha Spaulding was used to living in the shadow of her beautiful half-sister Kay. It seemed only natural that Kay should possess the family fortunethat Kay should be the queen and Martha her lady-in-waiting, that Kay should be married to the man whom Martha secretly loved.
Kay Spaulding's name was in the headlines for the last time. Beautiful and rich, her marriages and her reckless exploits had kept her in the news. Now she had been found dead in a shabby stolen car, mugged and robbed with an ice pick plunged into her back, and the police were calling it premeditated murder. They suspect her half-sister Martha -- who they believe was in love with Kay's husband -- even after someone attempts to poison her.
Now there was nothing to stand between Martha and fabulous wealth, between Martha and the man she adored... between Martha and the unknown killer who now stalked her. Only when she is trapped on a mountainside does Martha learn the truth about a monstrous gamble that nearly paid off -- that may yet pay off, depending on who reaches her first.
