- Synopsis
- From the book: When Althea Boatright dies alone in her locked room, it looks like the natural death of a sickly old woman, but one of her friends thinks there's something suspicious about it, based on Althea's walking stick. Since this friend is a friend of Lulu Huckabee-the mother of Henry Huckabee, the Chief of Police in Ogeechee, Georgia-it must be investigated. He assigns his cousin, officer Trudy Roundtree, to look into it. Trudy becomes convinced there are some things that need to be explained about Althea's death. As Trudy investigates, she finds several people with grudges against the victim-including Hen, who calls her "an unpleasant old turkey buzzard." There's the family of a man Althea ran over and killed. There's Althea's step-family, angry about their father's will which left the family home to Althea. There's her son's family, who needs her money to invest in the family business, or, possibly, to pay gambling debts.
