At a swanky rooftop restaurant in New York, a pair of husband-and-wife
sleuths must find out who spiked a woman's drink with murder . . .
There's a stunning view from the top of the Ritz-Plaza Hotel, but it
pales in comparison to Lois Winston's beauty. She arrives on the arm of
David McIntosh--an agreeable young man who would marry her if she gave
him the chance--to take in the scenery, eat a light supper, and forget
the busy world below. Lois's first cocktail lifts her spirits, helping
her dispel the strange sadness that tugs at her soul. But her second
drink isn't so kind. Lois isn't halfway done with her Cuba libre when
her cheeks grow hot, her breath becomes short, and she falls dead to the
floor.
Solving the case of this terribly fashionable murder falls to New York
Police Department's Lt. William Weigand, who tackles the investigation
with the help of his friends, Jerry and Pamela North. The effervescent
couple will catch the killer between cocktails--unless the poisoner
targets their glasses next.
