In “Murder Becomes Macau,” the murder victim (which now goes by ‘O’) is the CEO of Macau’s largest gaming consortium. After sipping a martini brought to her while she watches the action in one of her casinos, she collapses to the floor.
Next to her corpse is the telltale card of The Organization (which now just goes by ‘O’), this time tucked discreetly into her purse.
There are several suspects. A mysterious blonde at a roulette table appears to have sent her the weaponized martini (or did she)? There’s also the belligerent server who brought her the cocktail — and had the opportunity to spike it.
The executive’s younger sister holds a definite grudge against her more accomplished sibling, and there’s a former executive assistant who found out some shady secret about her boss and then left the job (and the murder scene?) in a hurry.
As always, there are also a few other oddballs on the periphery who may or may not have been ‘O’s assassin in waiting.
