When P.I. Sarah Booth Delaney takes on Monica and Eleanor
Levert as clients, she doesn’t have much hope of solving
the case.
The wealthy heiresses of Briarcliff in Natchez, MS, claim
that a
necklace worth four million dollars has been stolen, and
they
think that they can hurry the insurance payout if a
reputable P.I.
investigates. Sarah Booth has her doubts, and not just
about the
payout. All of the evidence suggests the sisters might be
committing fraud.
Then, just when she begins to scratch the surface of the
Levert
family’s sordid past and the blood money that their wealth
was
founded upon, Monica goes missing. The police suspect that
the
heiresses are still playing games, and Eleanor isn’t doing
anything
to make them think any different. But how can she? If she
says
or does anything besides pass on the insurance money to the
kidnappers, they’ll kill Monica.
With a family history that runs deep and dark and a twisting
plot where no one is exactly what they seem, Sarah Booth is
the
Levert sisters’ best and only hope in the latest in Carolyn
Haines
sparkling southern mystery series.
