Amateur sleuth, antiques expert and bride to be, Josie Prescott, is delighted when her friend Mo asks her to appraise her newly purchased rare Japanese woodblock print and thrilled when Mo’s dad asks her to appraise his vintage Martin guitar, alleged to have been played by Robert Johnson, the great American blues artist. Then Mo is murdered.

It doesn’t take Josie long to pinpoint a suspect—Mo’s sister’s manipulative boyfriend, who sold her the print, manufactured the bill of sale—and has now, conveniently, disappeared. In her quest to find him, Josie has to earn the trust of local antique dealers, befriend the owner of her town’s underground high-end casino, and uncover the long kept hidden affairs of the present and past.

Readers will delight in spending time with Josie in Rocky Point as she works with her friends—the ambitious young reporter, Wes Smith, and Rocky Point’s savvy police chief, Ellis Hunter—to find out who killed Mo, and why, while keeping the hope and excitement alive in planning for her special day.
