You only die twice

a novel

By Buchanan, Edna

Publishers Summary:
"The perfect, nude corpse of a beautiful woman washes up on a pristine Miami Beach - her body tanned and shapely, her nails elegantly manicured. The problem is that the victim, Kaithlin Jordan, was murdered ten years ago. And her convicted killer - her husband, R. J. Jordan, scion of a wealthy and powerful South Florida family - sits on death row, just weeks away from his execution." "Newspaper reporter Britt Montero recalls the high-profile murder trial that heated up a volatile tropical city like the merciless August sun. Even without a body, the prosecution's case against Jordan seemed airtight and the jury enthusiastically bought into it. Now R. J. is preparing to walk - benefiting from the murderous "largess" of whoever drowned his wife in the ocean off Miami Beach - and Britt's boundlessly curious nature is energized once more by a slew of questions that suddenly need answers. Did Kaithlin frame her husband for murder - or did she simply efficiently flee an abusive marriage? And why, after successfully reinventing herself, had she returned to South Florida, only to meet a very bad end in deep turquoise water?"--BOOK JACKET.Read MoreRead Less
