Three temperamental chefs are butting heads, their sous chefs are throwing punches, and the formidable club president, Elizabeth Merriman, antagonizes everyone around her. Though the wedding goes off without a hitch, by the time the happy couple and their guests depart, Elizabeth Merriman is missing. When her body is found on the beach the next morning, it appears that the country club president slipped from the top of the seawall, but Vic isn't convinced. Did the club president, aka The Iron Lady, finally push someone too far? And did that someone push her back--into the arms of death?

Turns out Pete did have a story to tellone that nobody ever got to hear. . .
