"It is the 1980s and the border cities of Windsor and Detroit are celebrating their annual Freedom Festival. The events culminate with a spectacular pyrotechnical display on the banks of the Detroit River. Hundreds of thousands of people have tracked to the riverside to watch the world-renowned display. Barges on the American side are set to send the ear-popping fireworks into the night sky. Lily and Michael Marcon, their son Tommy and Lily's mother Caroline are taking in the spectacle from a terrace at the luxurious Renaissance Centre on the American side. Sal Guerra, a well-known but despised construction entrepreneur, and his entourage are also in attendance. Michael Marcon was once employed by the mighty Guerra, and Lily is terribly anxious about being in such proximity to Sal. This year the breathtaking fireworks last for a record twenty-four minutes, and when the crowd finally exhales and the smoke begins to clear, Sal Guerra is inexplicably found slumped over at one of the tables. Is he dead? If so, who killed him, and how? The reasons, and the list of suspects which includes Michael and Lily, are certainly not lacking. In Waiting for Chrysanthemums Marisa De Franceschi weaves a classic whodunit detective mystery, sure to keep readers turning the pages to the very end."--
