Murder, She Wrote: Murder in Moscow
Donald Bain, Jessica Fletcher
Publish and Perish Bestselling mystery writer Jessica Fletcher is embarking on
the trip of a lifetime. The first stop is Washington,
D.C. – and a series of lavish receptions, culmination in a
meeting with the President. Then it’s on to Russia, where
Jessica and several publishing colleagues are on a mission
to help their Russian counterparts build a publishing
industry – and to help nurture the struggling young
democracy. Despite warnings from several friends about
Moscow’s high crime rate, Jessica can’t wait to see the
magnificent sights of the city. But her dream trip threatens to turn into a nightmare.
First, a mysterious man approaches her with a dubious
request – and within a day his corpse turns up at the
Jefferson Memorial. Once Jessica reaches Moscow, things go
from bad to worse after she and her publisher witness a
horrifying crime. When murder turns up on the dinner menu,
Jessica realizes that intrigue and espionage aren’t dead in
the new Russia – and if she doesn’t figure out whom to
trust – and fast – she very well may be.
