What is The Face on the Wall: A Homer Kelly Mystery (Beeler Large Print Mystery Series) about?

Things are finally looking up for Annie Swann, illustrator of children's books and niece of local sleuth Homer Kelly. After years of dead-end romances and broken dreams, one of Annie's favorite wishes is coming true at last. All she wanted was a new wing on the east end of her house, complete with a blank wall, thirty-five feet long. Here she could begin her most treasured work yet: a painting rich and complex, thick with fairy stories, honoring her lifelong obsession. And now she has it - an enormous empty canvas upon which she has finally begun her masterpiece. But without warning, her luck begins to run dry. There appears on her new wall, over and over again, a mysterious face, no matter how often she paints it out. Is someone trying to send Annie a message? If so, what is it, and who would do such a thing? As if the wicked face were a portent of things to come, Annie's dreams soon come crashing down. She finds her tenants' eight-year-old son, Eddy Gast, dead beneath her beautiful wall. Eddy's parents blame Annie for his death and decide to sue her for all she's worth. It becomes a case for Homer Kelly as Annie enlists his aid in a deadly showdown.
