[Captain Heimrich 11] • Accent on Murder

**Captain Heimrich teams up with a professor to teach a killer a lesson in this mystery from the authors of the “excellent” Mr. and Mrs. North series (*The New Yorker*).**

Capt. M. L. Heimrich of the New York State Police may not have the flash of hard-boiled city detectives, but there’s no lead the intrepid investigator won’t follow until his every hunch is satisfied . . .

When Walter Brinkley—professor emeritus of English literature—throws a cocktail party for newlywed friend Paul Craig and his bride, he has no idea the celebratory affair will spark a chain of events ending in a string of scandalous murders.

The first victim is beautiful party guest Caroline Wilkins, shot while sunbathing nude in a secluded place a few days after the soiree. Called in to investigate, Captain Heimrich uncovers information that links the dead woman to a notorious scandal rag. But before he can connect all the dots, a second malicious murder throws him for a loop.

With someone in Westchester County on a killing spree, Heimrich has little time left to catch the culprit. Luckily, Professor Brinkley might have just the expertise needed to crack the case . . .
