Margaret Jerinic (1944-2021) died suddenly in October 2021. In the months following her passing, her husband George found a nearly completed manuscript on her computer, a sequel to her first murder mystery The Eunuch's Secret (2020). He shared this news with his five daughters, and the oldest, Maria edited the document while Katarina, the third sister, designed the cover. Erik Pihel of Palamedes Publishing and longtime family friend, stepped in to publish. It was Margaret's dream to have an independent press publish her work.
