Anatomy of a Crossword
by Nero Blanc

Crossword editor Belle Graham is headed for Hollywood to work as technical consultant on a new TV series called Anatomy of a Crossword. But just a couple of days into shooting, things go awry. First, the puzzle Belle created for the show arrives from the typesetter with the clues completely changed. Then, one of the actors suddenly dies on the set. With only long-distance detective help from husband P.I. Rosco, Belle is out of her element-and on her own solving this one...



Nero Blanc's Bio

The Crossword Mystery series is a collaboration created by the husband and wife writing team of Steve Zettler and Cordelia Frances Biddle. Cordelia's previous work has been primarily historical fiction (Beneath the Wind and Murder at San Simeon), while Steve's has been more international thrillers (The Second Man, Double Identity and Ronin). However, the concept of writing in partnership has always fascinated them.

Crossword editor Belle Graham and P.I. Rosco Polycrates are sharpening their pencils and their minds to solve the puzzles that end in murder. Crossword puzzles throughout the novels can be filled in to help solve the crimes.
