    • After more than two decades, Judith Singer, the heroine of Compromising Positions, returns in a rollicking new novel sure to delight established Susan Isaacs fans and new readers alike. Judith Singer's life has changed. Her husband Bob died at age 55 -- half a day after triumphantly finishing the New York City Marathon in four hours and twelve minutes. And although twenty years have passed without seeing him, she still can't get her former lover, Nelson Sharpe of the Nassau County Police Department, out of her system. Judith finds herself surrounded by murder and mayhem when Courtney Logan, wife, mother, collector of vintage needlepoint and ex-president of Citizens for a More Beuatiful Shorehaven vanishes from Long Island into thin air. Naturally, all eyes turn to Courtney's husband, Greg, son of notorious Long Island mobster Philip 'Fancy Phil' Lowenstein. Fortunately Nelson -- who was never far from Judith's mind -- returns to help with what quickly becomes a murder enquiry.
