Synopsis: Agatha Award finalist for Best First Novel: “Elli Lisbon is the Stephanie Plum of the South!” —Krista Davis, New York Times–bestselling author of the Domestic Diva Mysteries Elliott Lisbon, director of the Ballantyne Foundation on Sea Pine Island, South Carolina, scratches her detective itch by performing discreet inquiries for Foundation donors. Usually nothing more serious than retrieving a pilfered Pomeranian. Until Jane Hatting, Ballantyne board chair, is accused of murder. The Ballantyne’s reputation tanks, Jane’s headed to a jail cell, and Elliott’s sexy ex is the new lieutenant in town. Armed with moxie and her Mini Coop, Elliott uncovers a trail of blackmail schemes, gambling debts, illicit affairs, and investment scams. But the deeper she digs to clear Jane’s name, the guiltier Jane looks. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more treacherous her investigation becomes. With victims piling up faster than shells at a clambake, Elliott realizes she’s next on the killer’s list. “The most lovable OCD PI since Adrian Monk.” —Maddy Hunter, Agatha Award nominated author of the Passport to Peril Series
