The traumatic events of the first Madison Mystery Promise Denied, fostered an unlikely friendship between widowed sorority housemother Roberta Palmer and police detective Bob Swenson. In this sequel the death of a reclusive elderly man, sorority cook Betty's next door neighbor, draws them into an emotional family drama. Norman Jacobson, the deceased, is not beloved by his three children, but did one of them kill him? Betty's troubled teenage son Matthew, seemingly Norman's devoted care-giver and friend, had opportunity and motive. Did he get into it with his irascible neighbor? Swenson and his younger partner Martin Chase don't have an easy task in sorting out complicated family dynamics as they investigate the case, and to Swenson's displeasure, Roberta insists on getting involved. Impossibly difficult when alive, Norman Jacobson bequeaths a Foul Legacy that disrupts the lives of his family and neighbors and threatens to undo Roberta and Swenson's fragile relationship. Set in 1960s Madison, Wisconsin, the second Madison Mystery takes readers back into the world of characters introduced in Promise Denied and adds some new major and minor players to the mix.
