About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

Under the Hadden pseudonym, Orania Papazoglou ( Sweet Savage Death ) introduces Gregor Demarkian, a retired FBI agent drawn into private sleuthing. Gregor has never met wealthy eccentric Robert Hannaford but has ample incentive (an offer of $100,000 for Gregor's church) to join Christmas Eve dinner at the Hannaford mansion. Show up, eat and take the money--that's it, says Robert. But when Gregor arrives, he finds Hannaford's corpse in the study. Robert had regarded his children as "dangerous idiots," but which one might be dangerous enough to commit murder: Myra and Bobby, who are picking up spare cash through insider trading at Hannaford Financial; Teddy, about to be fired from his college teaching post for plagiarism and sexual harassment; this is correct/pk Bennis, the fantasy writer; Chris, who has to pay off a gambling debt of $75,000; Anne Marie, who has run the family house and cared for her chronically ill mother; or actress Emma, baby of the family, said to have already made an attempt on her father's life? This is a promising first volume in a series featuring Demarkian.
