TRIANGLES

About the Book

Triangles is a trans-Atlantic murder mystery. Detective Superintendent Holly Bremholme gets nowhere in her investigation of the murder of 23-year-old Ann Claymoor although Jeff Becker, the obvious suspect, admits to being the girl’s lover. Becker is a top Hollywood director of photography who during a location shoot at the Claymoors’ ancestral estate in Dorset, England, became the lover of windowed Lady Vivian. Steve McAndrew, her ladyship’s lawyer and old friend, has Vivian taken to a posh $1,200-a-day clinic, where Jeff is denied access to her. Both he and the detective superintendent discover deep family secrets and realize McAndrew is slowly fleecing Lady Vivian with the motive of seizing Lidden Hall from her and turn it into a bigger and better mental treatment center. Over several months of contact, Holly and Jeff fall in love. Jeff’s wealth allows him to hire high-powered psychiatric help that frees Vivian before it’s too late. McAndrew is prosecuted and convicted of fraud, but not of murder. Was Ann in on her own murder?
