Edna Buchanan: You Only Die Twice (2001)

From the Publisher:
"BUCHANAN TELLS GREAT STORIES -- HOT, HORRIBLE, HOMICIDAL STORIES." -- New York Times Book Review
What was the nude, recently slain body of Kaithlin Jordan doing spoiling the pristine turquoise waters of Miami Beach -- especially when the dead socialite's convicted killer husband is sitting on Death Row for having murdered her... ten years ago? Reporter Britt Montero lives for this kind of story. But she may die for this one as well. Because each question raises many others -- and every hard-won answer reveals secret passions and explosive truths that could doom an overly inquisitive journalist with a tendency to leap before she looks.

"A crafty crime story... a finely tuned plot... with more twists and turns than a bucketful of night crawlers." -- People
"Satisfying and gratifying... after more than a decade of Montero-themed mysteries, Buchanan manages to keep this latest offering fresh." -- Boston Globe
"Unforgettable, richly rendered... YOU ONLY DIE TWICE is one of Buchanan's best." -- Denver Post
