Dying for Mercy
Imagine buying the home of your dreams, a glorious old mansion nestled in a fairytale setting, and then coming across the clues of an elaborate puzzle hidden behind its walls that lead, first, to the discovery of a priceless treasure - and then, to murder! Along with her KEY News colleagues, Eliza Blake, co-host of Key to America, the country’s premier television morning program, is invited to Pentimento, an historic estate in Tuxedo Park, New York, a setting synonymous with wealth and exclusivity. Behind the private park’s stately stone gates, sprawling architectural masterpieces, restored carriage houses and picturesque gardeners’ cottages decorate the rolling, naturalistic landscape. But the serenity of the secluded enclave explodes when one of the Tuxedo Park’s best known residents is found dead just as stunning facet of the puzzle is revealed in the estate’s stone fountain. As they explore Pentimento, Eliza and the home’s new owners begin to find even more clues and riddles concealed in its stained-glass windows, statues and mosaics. What starts as a fascinating yet harmless tour of a giant “puzzle house” turns darkly sinister and, as the fabled homestead gives up its many mysteries, someone turns to murder to keep one last secret from coming to light. The peaceful lake drives of Tuxedo Park soon become treacherous paths to death, and no amount of wealth or privilege will keep the threatened residents safe. On one of those tranquil and winding roads, Eliza Blake will come face to face with a killer who thinks that some buried secrets should stay buried.
