"Frieda stood there, staring at me,

staring at the gun. Then her eyes

dropped to Adrian s body at my feet... "

From the moment Aphra Colquhoun

finds herself standing over the body of

her boss, Adrian Lynch, editorial

director of Gilman Press, the

nightmare of her past begins again,

Aphra, who had good reason to change

her name and identity, quickly

becomes the prime suspect. Released

on bail, she has just three weeks to

clear her name. But someone--is it the

murderer? wants to put her off the

trail with threatening letters and a

near fatal accident.

And how is Aphra s fate tied up with

the famous author Elizabeth York, for

whose next book Adrian was secretly

bidding? And what is Frieda, Adrian s

secretary, hiding about Adrian s past?

Time is running out as Aphra chases

her clues through publishing

takeovers, sinister assignations, and

insider trading. The murderer may

very well succeed in throwing Aphra

fatally off track.

Set in the sophisticated, fast-paced

world of publishing, Margin for

Murder is a terrific crime yarn.
