A grave affair

Published for the Crime Club by Doubleday

"Well, son, I guess we have to go the to bank." That's what Leon Hess told me the day the Jets drafted me as the number-one player in the NFL draft. But that first day, the day of the draft, was one of the happiest days in my life, because I knew I was ready to make things happen in the league and help turn things around for the sorry-ass Jets. But what a nightmare! Week after week, loss after loss. The Jets went in with a loser reputation, and they were earning it all over again. We had no emotion, no energy, no hunger. The media tried to cover it all. Rich Kotite tried to explain the disasters away. But nobody outside the team knew the real truth of what really went on. This book is going to change all that.

Lancelot Jones is a young Englishman on his way to a small town in India where he will take up a teaching post when his plane is inconveniently grounded miles from his destination. The pilot tells him that it is a minor mechanical problem and repairs should take only a few hours, perhaps the entire afternoon. Upon hearing the news, Lance decides to explore and heads for the first building that he can see which leads him to find Alva Hines, an old woman living in a large house in the desert. He is welcomed in by her servant, and spends the afternoon with her, and learns about her and her love of stories --- one which is a tale of adultery and murder. The afternoon passes easily enough between them, but things are rarely what they seem.
