Mirror, mirror on the wall, where's the axe about to fall?
That's what Sarah Kelling and her art detective friend, Max Bittersohn, find out when their quiet vacation turns into a rampage of murder.
They're in trouble as soon as they arrive at Sarah's summer home to find a lovely old Bilbao looking glass hanging on the wall of the seldom-used front entryway. Sarah's never seen this precious antique before. Mindful of burglaries around the wealthy summer colony, Max calls the police.
Then one of the old yacht club crowd Sarah's hoped to avoid starts taking charge. She brings Appie Kelling and her own special brand of total chaos out to visit Sarah. Appie frosts the cake by inviting her son, Lionel, and her four grandsons. They make Genghis Kahn's horde look like a bunch of sissies - but are they really thieves, arsonists, and killers?
Somebody is, that's for sure. Max and Sarah have to battle their way through a wall of social prejudice, a maze of conflicting values, and some extremely sticky situations before they find out who's taken them on this perilous trip through the looking glass.
