Accidents happen, but was this murder??

A DARK NIGHT . . .
A SHARP CURVE . . .
A DRUNKEN DRIVER . . .

On the night of August 11, 1956, in the East Hampton hamlet of Springs, a tragic car crash took the life of Jackson Pollock, the world-renowned abstract painter and notorious alcoholic. Also killed was Edith Metzger, a passenger in the car Pollock was driving when it plunged into the woods and overturned. At least thats what the newspapers reported. But Metzgers autopsy reveals that she was already dead before the crash. This shocking disclosure draws vacationing Detective Juanita Diaz of the NYPD and her husband, Captain Brian Fitzgerald of the NYPD, into a homicide investigation that implicates members of East Hamptons art community, including Pollock himself.
