Plot Summary of Affair
"Charlotte Arkendale is searching for the person who killed one of the customers of her investigating business. She hires a new employee, Baxter St. Ives, to help her in the quest. Baxter cringes at the thought of being someone's employee, but takes the position because he too is looking for the killer-and he thinks that it could possibly be Charlotte. Quickly he realizes that she is not, and within no time finds himself and Charlotte on the trail of a devious murderer who will go to all lengths to split apart the couple so his/her plans can come together."
Emma, Resident Scholar
