Now it’s up to Katherine to fly home and track him down.Meanwhile, Edina is reeling from the murder of a local woman, which looks more and more like it could have a connection to Nathan’s disappearance. And as Katherine digs deeper into the investigation, locating Nathan’s abandoned car and compiling a list of potential kidnappers, another body is found—and Katherine fears time is running out for her friend.Finding herself reluctantly pulled into a new case, Katherine must set aside her artistic pursuits and tear herself away from her darling grandchildren in order to save her best friend in Death in the Abstract, the compelling sequel to Emily Barnes’ The Fine Art of Murder.
