We Interrupt This Broadcast

Alice Jordan's dentist husband has just run off with his hygienist and she is desperate for a job. Because Alice has done some volunteer work for the symphony, she manages to talk herself into a job as a commissioned ad rep for a Seattle classical music station. The station was kept alive by its wealthy owner for many years, but her heirs are fighting about the future of the station. KLEG is so mismanaged that Alice's predecessor Joe Costello hadn't even bothered to resign. He just disappeared and no one, including his unhappy wife, found it odd that he just drifted away. Cryptic messages had been left on his answering machine and his few accounts had been neglected. A week into the job, Joev?s body is found inside a convertible sofa in a storage area. Alice finds that Joev?s death by misadventure is only the beginning of the mystery.

Murder Is Broadcast

It's 1952 and John Truesdale is found murdered on his own farm. Six amateur sleuths are on the case. Calling themselves the Rounders, they're friends who meet for coffee every Thursday morning at a roadside cafe on the Lincoln Highway. They're together when the radio announces the untimely death of Truesdale. With strikingly different backgrounds and personalities, the Rounders have one thing in common: a nose for crime. They discover Truesdale had a lot of folks who wanted him dead. Rumor has it he impregnated a local girl and left her to fend for herself. Then, there's the uncle who claims Truesdale stole the family inheritance. When a second man is found shot, no one can identify him. The deeper the Rounders delve into the two murders, the more perilous their investigation becomes. The sluggishness of the sheriff doesn't help. And the problem is compounded by a seemingly unrelated theft of Indian artifacts and an antique store break-in. The lives of the Rounders are threatened as the unravel the clues.
