Making Lemonade

Text by Barbara Paul

This is the only short story in which series character Marian Larch appears (so far). I was working on You Have the Right To Remain Silent when Marilyn Wallace asked for an original story for her next Sisters in Crime anthology. So I took the same setting and some of the same characters I was using in the novel and gave them an additional case to work on.

The story is about desperate people doing the best they can in intolerable situations. Unfortunately, one such person decides murder is the only possible way out. Marian Larch is torn in this one; her sympathies, for once, are with the guilty person instead of the victim.
