Miss Melville's Revenge - Tapa blanda

With the art world no longer supplying the kind of excitement she craves, Miss Melville returns to her former occupation of assassin, and her public service killings go smoothly until the target is a former lover

le certainly doesn't look the part of a fierce assassin. But the prim middle-aged spinster plays that role to the hilt when the occasion demands it. Although her free-lance hit-lady days are over, she still dabbles in a meaningful murder, if the victim is deserving.
But this time, she's bound and determined to uncover another kind of mystery and exact a very personal revenge. With her U.N. connections and some high-class finagling, Susan is in the right place to vindicate the death of her own father -- murdered at the hands of a vicious South American dictator years ago. Ever the correct society matron, Miss Melville hits on the perfect plan -- until a few purposeful accidents and overlooked details threaten to send disaster her way . . . .
