Sarah Booth Delaney’s fiancé, Graf Milieu, has become
depressed while recovering from a severe leg injury, but
Sarah Booth knows just how to help him heal. She’s arranged
a romantic getaway for the two of them at a lovely beach
cottage on Dauphin Island off the Gulf Coast.
On the first day of their island adventure, they take a
historical tour led by Angela Trotter, a young woman
well-versed in local lore, including rumors of pirate
treasure hidden somewhere on the island.
In fact, Angela confides to Sarah Booth and Graf that her
father, a sailor and treasure hunter, was murdered just when
he thought he was closing in on the treasure. Angela's
convinced that the wrong man was imprisoned for her father’s
murder, and she manages to persuade Sarah Booth to take the
case.
And Sarah Booth soon realizes that there's much more going
on than meets the eye. With untold amounts of treasure
offering plenty of motive for murder and a fiancé falling
deeper into depression, Sarah Booth's peaceful island
vacation is quickly spinning out of control.
In Booty Bones, Carolyn Haines will once again delight
