Design To Kill
by Chester D. Campbell

It's no vacation that brings Greg McKenzie and his wife Jill to the listening white sand beaches at Perdido Key, Florida. Architect / engineer Tim Gannon, son of the McKenzies' closest friends in Nashville, has been found dead of a gunshot wound. Self-inflicted says the deputy who investigated, a clear case of remorse over the design flaw in a highrise beachfront condo that caused a balcony to collapse, killing two people. But it looks otherwise to Greg and Jill, who find plans missing, an obstinate contractor, a too-slick developer and an inspector angry over a disrupted love affair. After two thugs work him over, Greg realizes Jill is in danger, too, and if this is a murder case, he had better solve it fast.
