UNTITLED WIP

 

Irma Jean Bennett, secretary for the tiny Spite, West Virginia Police Department  knows it's going to be a bad day when the Chief drops dead in her office. When the coroner/funeral director reveals the Chief was poisoned, the mayor orders the officer in charge (who happens to be Irma Jean's ex-husband) to keep it quiet. Not one to be told what to do, Irma Jean decides to investigate on her own. Her efforts are hindered by her pink Cadillac-driving-mother, her ex-husband who wants her back, and the hunky newcomer with more than a few secrets who is renovating the downtown hotel. What she discovers is that the Chief had secrets of his own and someone is desperate to keep them that way.
