Is this the perfect crime...? Meet Norma and Alexandra Gold - New York Sleuths with an old-fashioned solution to murder. They solve it - it's as simple as that. Irascible, brilliant, and somewhat overweight Alexander Gold was recovering from a heart attack. Yet Norma Gold was sure her good friend Pearl would be the death of him with her incessant request that Alexander solve a murder! But as Pearl pointed out, Alexander Gold was a genius at solving puzzles and this puzzling case had everybody stumped. One of America's top architects, Roger Talbott, had been mysteriously killed in the locked studio atop his New York townhouse. The only suspect happened to be the nice young man engaged to Pearl's niece, who was caught red-handed with the murder weapon. When Norma starts digging, she soon finds multiple motives for murder bubbling just below the surface. It is very clear that Talbott was not a popular man, particularly among his business partners. Together, Norma and Alexander are a formidable crime solving duo. But have they finally come across a case that they cannot solve? The Gold Solution is the first book in the Norma and Alexander Gold Thriller series from Herbert Resnicow.
