Private detective Otto Samalson sees the tail--a black Toronado he can't
shake. One dark window rolls down, exposing the barrel of a gun, and the
detective is dead.
Otto had already known his days were numbered and said as much to his
friend, attorney Matthew Hope. Having hired Otto to watch a cheating
husband for a client, Matthew is now left with only Otto's tape
recorder, filled with proof of an affair. But could the evidence lead to
something larger, something that would drive a man to kill?
Meanwhile, a mysterious woman is on the run, her face and name unknown
to all except two stepsisters who couldn't care less if a violent pair
of Cubans got their hands on her. If Matthew can decipher the clues in
Otto's evidence, there's a chance he could reach the girl first and save
her life.
A chilling addition to the Matthew Hope series from Ed McBain,
Cinderella is the tale of a woman known by many names and the men who
will do anything to find her.
