The Mistress Trap

Betty Bennett worked as an escort for the wealthy circles of Fraudensia, and of her clients the one who mattered was Austin, a tycoon married to Janice. Janice came to Betty with an offer: kill Austin, and take a share of the inheritance. Days later Austin was found dead in Betty's apartment, with everything pointing at her. Betty was accused of the murder, leaned on by a corrupt policeman and hounded in the press, so she ran to her brother Terry for help. Terry turned out to be working undercover. Janice had a run of dead husbands and inheritances behind her, and she had once been involved with Terry, an affair that ended with one of them close to killing the other. She set out to get at Terry and his family. Betty put the pieces together and began building a trap of her own. A murder, a cover-up and a tampered will run underneath all of it, along with an illegitimate son looking for the truth.
