In the fifth CRUISE SHIP CRIME MYSTERY, Dr. Alan Mayhew encounters a suspected killer aboard the elegant cruise ship The Baroness.
While delayed in port for the day, ship’s Dr. Mayhew visits a museum in Jayapura and unexpectedly finds a photograph of his great-grandfather, Dr. Edmund Netter. He purchases the photo and takes it back to the ship. Hours later, when the cruise liner sets sail from Indonesia en route to San Francisco, Mayhew receives mysterious assistance investigating the murder of an unwitting female passenger. A dramatic chain of events ensues involving a playwright, the back streets of Madagascar, a septic tank, drug dealing and a cast of fascinating (and often humorous) characters. It puts Mayhew’s sleuthing abilities to a real test!
