Body in the Brush Strokes

Journalism student Fran Fitzpatrick is gathering information about an art exhibition at the Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown, PEI. After her boyfriend gives her upsetting news, a distracted Fran literally runs into Gary West, the Centre's CEO. They exchange pleasantries, but then Gary abruptly runs off, leaving an important document in Fran's possession. When she later discovers Gary's body, solving the murder, with the help of her friends, becomes Fran's primary mission. Having found the victim in an off-limits area of the Centre, Fran worries she's the prime suspect. Despite personal issues, concerns about their futures, and time constraints, the team of student reporters work doggedly to prove Fran's innocence. Their investigation takes them deep into the dark side of the world of fine arts, where they must sort through a plentiful cast of suspects to determine who killed Gary West, and why.Was it jealousy, revenge, greed, or obsession? Whatever the killer's motive, Fran and friends must solve the crime before the chief of police puts her behind bars. Can they get to the truth before Fran loses her freedom?
