Mystery
TAKE FOUR PILLS A DAY—
A chance to be a part of a headline-grabbing case against
a drug company has lured attorney Avery Andrews back to
Charleston, South Carolina. She agrees to meet with Mark

restaurant’s she-crab soup. But it turns out he had a
fatal car accident. Something about the crash isn’t right,
and Mark’s father asks Avery to look into his death.
Between that and digging up dirt on the wonder drug
Uplift, Avery is coming up with more questions than

Of course, Avery isn’t the only one making headlines. Back
in Dacus, her mom is on live television confronting a
teenager’s dynamite-toting paramour in a hostage crisis at
the Burger Hut, Great-Aunt Aletha is mixing it up with the
now-toupee-less postman, and the son of a ghost wants

while in Charleston, Avery is forced to face demons from
her own past…
