Publisher's Synopsis
Abigail Dobbs, a young woman living in America's heartland, defies all the conventional attitudes of her late 19th century upbringing. She is beautiful and alluring, dresses to the nines and has a keen intellect. She also possesses the uncanny ability to succeed in business. Marrying Paul Grimes, a man content with having a wife and traditional homemaker, frustrates her. Setbacks in her entrepreneurial ventures embolden her. She decides to never be taken advantage of again. The wiles of a persistent admirer, the sudden appearance of an unexpected caller, plus the antics of a pesky detective, a curious coachman and an adorable cocker spaniel all bring Abigail to a point where her only way out is....murder!
