Death of a Prom Queen

As the Vista View High School class of '68 prepares for its fifteen-year reunion, memories of who was popular and who wasn't loom large. And one person still cares deeply enough about who had been "in" and who had been "out" to send a threatening anonymous letter to the old in-crowd. "You have all been tried," the letter warns. "The sentence will be meted out on June 15th." When newly pregnant Jeanette Vincent gets her copy of the poison-pen letter, she isn't too worried. But someone is settling old scores in a lethal way. And in the aftermath of murder, Jeanette herself is in danger. This early detective novel by mystery writer K. K. Beck under the name "Marie Oliver" has long been unavailable, and used copies sell for hundreds of dollars.
