An aging stripper's fresh corpse turns up in an old family tomb at Boston Common in this "first-rate suspense whodunit" (The Cincinnati Post). Like many old New England families, the Kellings live to die. Although their family vault is spacious and comfortable, it will not do for Sarah Kelling's Great-Uncle Frederick. In his will, he demands to be buried inside the ancient family tomb at Boston Common, which hasn't admitted a new member in over a century. But when the Kellings crack the old vault's door, they find a recently built brick wall-and behind it lays a surprisingly fresh corpse, a skeleton with rubies in its teeth. Her name was Ruby Redd, and many years ago she was the toast of Boston's burlesque scene. Her murder case is ice cold, but when Sarah begins investigating it, she finds that the fiery passions behind Ruby's death still burn white hot. With the help of art-fraud investigator Max Bittersohn, Sarah will solve the mystery of the stripper's murder-or take her own place in the family vault.

      An unexpected skeleton is discovered in a family tomb and thus begins a mystery that extends from the present to the past and back. Narrator Mary Peiffer's sometimes whimsical tone acquaints us with the Kelling family and the puzzling story surrounding the burial of great-uncle Frederick. While the males voices could be more distinct, the many details of secrecy and betrayal move proficiently to the end. B.J.L. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
