A Timely Alibi

Cybil Quindt, recovering from the devastating grief caused by the death of her young son the year before and the subsequent estrangement from her physician husband, embraces the career and life change offered her as a trainee in her uncle's respectable security agency.

Her seemingly innocuous first case as an apprentice P.I. investigating pilfering in a warehouse seems the perfect assignment on which to cut her teeth, yet when a warehouse co-worker dies mysteriously on her watch, Cybil wonders if she is in too deep.

Against the wishes of her estranged husband, Cybil pushes forward into an ever-growing web of deceit-familial love turned destructive in the grand manner of a Greek tragedy. As time goes by, she finds herself caught up in blackmail, adultery, and cold-blooded murder-all leading to grave danger when she confronts the charming but cunning villain.
