Set in 1881. Inez Stannert, co-owner of Leadville, Colorado's Silver Queen saloon, has turned her business talents to managing a music store. But when the body of a young musician washes up on the banks of a canal, the investigation into his death threatens to expose Inez's notorious past.
When Leadville soothsayer Drina Gizzi is murdered it is Inez Stannert, Reverend Sands, and Drina's young daughter, Antonia, who find her body. The mystery surrounding Drina's death deepens when her body vanishes without a trace.
Inez Stannert travels to the fashionable summer retreat of Manitou. But when fellow stagecoach passenger Edward Pace dies unexpectedly, his widow rejects a weak heart theory and begs Inez to investigate.

ReplyDeleteHere's to sleeping weasels who allow you some rest during the holidays.
Hi Liz! Thank you! Right now, those weasels are bouncing all over the place and not giving me a moment's peace... ;-)
DeleteSo happy to have you as part of the team.
ReplyDeleteHi Maryann! I'm glad and grateful to be here and part of the team... I just need to be here more often, clearly! ;-)
DeleteLove that your stories are based in Colorado, one of my most favorite places. They will all 3 go on my to-read list.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda! Colorado is the "place of my heart." The protagonist has now taken up residence in San Francisco, another place with a lot of history for mystery...
