From all outward appearances, it looks like she plans to have a different man in her room every night she's there, but the very first morning, the maid finds her bed undisturbed. ¡ Ellen's husband arrives 5 days later, desperate to find out why his wife hasn't been answering his calls. She hasn't been seen at the hotel since just after checking in, and the only man who can track her down is Miami's toughest detective: Mike Shayne. ¡ Murder by Proxy is the 43rd book in the Mike Shayne Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order
