Pirates. A treasure map. And jealousy...
When a skeleton clutching a treasure map is unearthed below a city street, Carmel finds out who her true friends are.
Her neighbors believe the pirate loot is their inheritance, but her archivist boss guards the secret jealously until she is found murdered – with Carmel, covered in blood and standing over the corpse, as the chief suspect.
It doesn't look good for Carmel. And until the real killer is found, the safest place for her might be to remain in jail.
See why fans of Agatha Christie and humorous British cozies have fallen in love with the characters in the village of St. Jude Without. Read the third book in the Carmel McAlistair Mystery series today!
"There is plenty suspense and mystery to keep the reader guessing almost to the end of 'who done it'. What I especially like about this author is her ability to tell a tale without degrading to violence, sexual content, and foul language."
"With treasure maps, pirates, ghosts and fairies this is a story to fuel your imagination and keep you turning those pages. Carmel McAlistair has a knack for finding trouble, and can frequently be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Helping her out of her dilemmas is a strong - and very original - cast of characters."
