Murder in the Marshes Camille H Padula

When "CC" Giovani, investigative reporter, amateur sleuth and co-owner of the Howard Beach Weekly Gazette gets a call from the Captain of the Howard Beach Police Dept. at seven in the morning, it could only be bad news. Someone tossed a body of a naked woman in the marshes. The woman looked so much like "CC", that the Captain thought it might have been a relative, but "CC" had no idea who the woman was. The body contained a note that indicated the murder was being committed in her name. Over the next month, the body count rises and "CC" doesn't understand why these women have become victims of a serial killer. The only connection these women had to each other was their strong resemblance to "CC", which meant that every time a murder was committed, the killer was murdering "CC" in effigy. Things turn for the worse when the killer uses arson as a distraction putting the residents of Howard Beach in harm's way. Follow "CC" as she investigates the crimes and tries to unravel the mystery.
