C.B. Greenfield

Just off the coast of Florida, on lovely Sanibel Island, a group of showbiz people are feuding over who gets what percent of the Broadway musical they are planning. Also on Sanibel is amateur detective Maggie Rome. So when the body of the luscious Thea (scheduled to star in the musical) is found in a deserted bird sanctuary, Maggie begins to investigate. And ends up summoning her boss. To the rescue, C.B. Greenfield. The brilliant and crotchety newspaperman relies on Maggie for legwork and eavesdropping—then, in his inimitable fashion, he puts his mind to solving this delightfully witty mystery. "Maggie's narration is brightly amusing, some of the show-biz dialogue is endearingly nasty— and the Sanibel/Captiva background is a well-sketched treat." The Kirkus Reviews
