Book Description
Death waited in Cuckoo Canyon in a friendly diguise. Death, in fact, was smiling.
A series of fatal "accidents" occurred in the community around the Canyon. On the surface they were not linked; a bride and groom were killed on their wedding night, a woman died in childbirth, a young man sniffed an inhalator loaded with cyanide.
Todd McKinnon and his wife, Georgine, are entangled in the deaths and find that everyone connected with them is an eccentric. Two sisters, beautiful and mysterious, who always attract the same man. The tyrannical head of a religious cult which forbids its members to marry. Her companion, a high-strung religious fanatic who sprays her greenhouse with dangerous cyanide. An attractive stranger who loves two women at once.
It isn't until Georgine herself is nearly killed and two more brutal killings baffle the police, that the solution to this bizarre case is bared.
