The Crossword Connection
Nero Blanc

Down the aisle…

P.I. Rosco Polycrates and crossword editor Belle Graham are back for more puzzle and crime solving. This time they discover the ups and downs of married life—and death…

Everyone’s favorite puzzle lovers—Belle and Rosco—have finally decided to tie the knot. But their wedding vows are put on hold when murder pays a visit. Two homeless people turn up dead, a crossword puzzle tucked beneath them. But who could hold a grudge against a couple of harmless vagrants? Then Rosco disappears without a trace.

Left to her own defenses, the only thing Belle has to work with is a series of anonymous crosswords delivered to her door. If she can figure out the clues, she can solve the crime—and find Rosco. It all adds up to a murderous puzzler that’s starting to give Belle a serious case of cold feet…
