Faith's catering business has been slow with the
downturn of the economy, so when her friend Patsy Avery
proposes that she take over the café at Aleford's Ganley Art
Museum, it seems like a not-to-be-missed opportunity. And
Patsy has an ulterior motive—she discovers that the Romare
Bearden piece she lent the museum has been switched with a
fake and wants Faith to snoop around to find the culprit.
Life at the museum doesn't stay calm for long and
Faith is soon enmeshed in the Ganley's murky past and
present as she struggles to make connections among
apparently disparate items: the fake Bearden, Pepperidge
Farm Goldfish crackers, and a Jane Doe corpse that
turns up as an unintended part of an art installation. At
home, son Ben, now in the hell known as middle school,
becomes involved in a cyberbullying escapade and husband Tom
wants his wife to morph into June Cleaver.
Her
investigation takes Faith into Boston's art scene and
historic Beacon Hill, as well as into the lives behind the
façade of the Ganley's very proper board of trustees. She is
at her wit's—and almost dead—end, as the killer strikes
again, and again.
