[Walter Dure Hard Case 02] • The Case of the Unhealthy Health Club

The death of a middle-aged businessman in a health club had all the appearance of an unfortunate fluke. But the businessman's young trophy wife, now widow, thought otherwise. She brings suit against the health club for negligence. It falls to dogged and independent-minded Walter Dure to defend the case.

Dure's investigation leads him to suspect foul play, but the police refuse to investigate once the medical examiner has ruled the death to be from natural causes.

In the face of the indifference of complacent police and the skepticism of his client; and against the active opposition of two adverse lawyers; and in spite of interference from an ambitious insurance investigator, Dure's sharp mind and confidence in his own reasoning powers bring clarity to a case of conflicting evidence and surpassing subtlety.

If you like your mysteries layered and complex, you'll like this baffling whodunit.
