Frank Lloyd Wright is Merlin Richards's hero, and the handwritten note in the famous architect's own hand - "If you make it to America, come and see me" - is all it takes to persuade the young, Welsh architect to strike out on his own. It is an invitation, Richards decides, and a chance to learn from the master. Nowhere in Wright's note does it say anything about murder. Chasing his dream, Richards finally arrives at the building site of the Arizona Biltmore, where Wright is expected at any moment, and meets a beautiful young designer named Rosa Lustig. Like every other man in her circle, Merlin is charmed...and a handful of hours later, he is the prime suspect in Rosa's murder. Jealous suitors, envious workers, and the police are all convinced that Merlin is a killer. With care and patience, he begins to put the pieces of the puzzle together; what he builds is not the impressive edifice he came to learn about, but a defense that will in turn imprison a murderer.

"It's the 1920s, and Frank Lloyd Wright is making architectural history. Young Welshman Merlin Richards, mesmerized by Wright's vision, gives up a promising career in his father's architectural firm to follow his dream of coming to America to meet Wright. In America, he catches up with Wright at the site of a stunning but controversial new hotel being built in the Arizona desert. Merlin is crestfallen when Wright ignores him but momentarily forgets his disappointment when he's befriended by an attractive young designer named Rosa Lustig. Then Rosa is murdered, and Merlin finds himself involved in a murder investigation, first as the prime suspect, then as the one person determined to find out who really killed Rosa. Miles, author of more than 40 mysteries, writes in a pleasant, low-key style, offering a well-designed story with clean lines, some intriguing bits of architectural history, a carefully researched look at the quixotic genius of Frank Lloyd Wright, and an endearingly earnest hero."--Booklist.
