SHORT-CIRCUITED IN CHARLOTTE IBD

Sinopse

Sometimes a high-tech crime calls for a very low-tech solution, as Nick and Stella Buckley learn when they match wits with a devious and cunning killer . . .áEvery year the CreatorsâÇÖ Cavalcade draws the most innovative and cutting-edge minds in science and technology, and when Nick Buckley is invited to showcase the U.S. Forest ServiceâÇÖs new environmental initiatives, heâÇÖs happy to invite his wife Stella along. The event promises to give both of them a break from the many complications of new homeownership, and the luxurious nineteenth-century estate where itâÇÖs held is sure to provide a beautiful and tranquil setting for their getaway. But when the CavalcadeâÇÖs founder and director is found dead and one of the participants is murdered not long after, Nick and Stella know that playtime is over and theyâÇÖll have to get busy trying to corner a fiendishly clever culprit.áConfronted with an eclectic mix of creators-and suspects-including a steampunk designer, a robotics engineer, a recycled materials percussionist and others, Nick and Stella know that everyone at the Cavalcade possessed the brains and technological know-how to pull off the murders. But theyâÇÖve got a few innovative ideas of their own for nabbing the guilty party, and the only question is whether they can put their plan into action before the killer pulls the plug on them for good . . .ááPraise for the Books of Amy Patricia Meade:á'The first in a new series for Meade features yet another set of bright young detectives . . .' -Kirkus Reviewsá'Quaint characters and settings abound in this outing by New Yorker-turned-Vermonter Amy Patricia Meade.' -Mystery Sceneá'MeadeâÇÖs debut will strike a chord with fanciers of Dorothy SayersâÇÖs Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane.' -Publishers Weeklyá'If only Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart were still alive.
