A long time family feud has been simmering in Dorset, Connecticut. Sherm Grant and his son desecrate the grave of silent film star Aurora Bing for almost eighty years. It doesn't help that the local building inspector, Hubie Swope, is Aurora's only grandchild, and he is threatening to shut down Sherm Grant's shabby dive bar, aptly named The Pit. When The Pit burns down, and Swope's remains are discovered inside, it means murder, and Gant is the prime suspect. State Trooper Desiree Mitry and crime fighting film critic Mitch Berger investigate.
A favorite series--I haven't been disappointed yet. This is the eleventh book.
