~Murder strikes at a writer's convention in the midst of a record-setting blizzard, stranding the conventiongoers at a luxury hotel with a cold-blooded killer.~
Everyone is intrigued by the murder mystery the Executive Board of the Colorado Fiction Writers Association has created for its 2008 writer's convention. The problem is, the board has done no such thing. The body in the back of the auditorium at the Marquis Hotel is a real corpse, dressed in articles of clothing someone has deliberately stolen from each of the Board members. Arthur Upton, CFWA President and a former New York cop, senses that the stolen clothes make this murder something personal. Lakewood Police Detective, Mitch Cameron, has a problem of his own. Two items from his Weapons of Destruction display have vanished. He soon finds one of them, a garrotte, wrapped tightly around the dead man's throat. Cameron knows that the other weapon, a nine inch stiletto, is still somewhere in the hotel, where a record-setting blizzard has stranded him without backup. As night closes in, the snow continues to fall relentlessly--and Cameron and the board know they must confront a cold-blooded killer.
"I'm pleased to recommend this to any mystery fan as well worth the time and a very satisfying read." Anne K. Edwards, MysteryFiction.net
"An Unconventional Murder is an intriguing and enjoyable mystery nicely peppered with false clues, blind alleys and a large cast of familiar-seeming characters..." PG Forte on MyShelf.com
There it was.
Seated on the floor, leaning against the two converging walls was an unmistakably male figure bundled up in a heavy overcoat. A plaid muffler was wrapped around its neck and its head was covered by a knit ski hat. The eyes were obscured by a pair of sunglasses
Upton reached down and touched the inert figure on the cheek, quickly jerking his hand back as his fingers encountered human skin.
Rena gaped at the figure on the floor. "What--"
"This is no dummy," Upton muttered. "This is a real flesh and blood person."
"Is he asleep?"
"I don't think so." He felt for a pulse.
There was none.
"Rena, this man is dead."
