About this book

The drunken sisters. Apollo challenges The Three Fates to a life-and-death battle of wits, but despite their taste for liquor, the sisters win the wager. Bernice. A convicted financial felon returns from prison and finds counsel in the guise of a murderer-turned-housekeeper. The wreck on the 5:25. Mother and daughter warily sew and converse in their living room while a strangely familiar man watches through the window from the shadows of their yard. A ringing of doorbells. A mother-daughter team of con-artists target a wheel chair-bound widow who, wise to their game, concocts a cunning scheme of her own. In Shakespeare and the Bible. A former madam confronts her former client and soon-to-be nephew-in-law, knowing the match may be threatened by his dangerous temper. Someone from Assisi. A friar with a lurid past seeks forgiveness from his former lover. Cement hands. A lively scheme to expose the greedy behavior of her fiance holds a young woman's future--and afternoon tea--in the balance.
