Description
Pirates. A treasure map. And jealousy…
When a skeleton clutching a partial treasure map is unearthed below a city street, Carmel finds out how tenuous her grip on happiness is. Her neighbors believe the pirate loot is their inheritance. Her archivist boss guards the secret jealously until she is found murdered – with Carmel, covered in her blood and standing over her, the chief suspect.
It doesn’t look good for Carmel and, to make matters worse, Inspector Darrow is forced to withdraw from the case because of conflict of interests, leaving her to the mercy of the local constabulary’s most notoriously vicious investigator.
Meanwhile, the safest place for her might be to remain in jail…
