But in case the dealership ownerâs day isnât going badly enough, one of the cars has a last surprise in store: a body in the trunk. She is the beautiful young wife of the district attorney, and Sam knows she deserved better than to end up dead in an ugly car. As the local police bungle the investigation, Sam quietly digs into the deathâand finds a secret in his city that could be even more disastrous than the Edsel. |
