Mystery Woman Sleuth

When her father is fingered for murder, itโ€™s up to Sally Solari to serve up the real killer before their new restaurantโ€™s reputation goes up in smoke.

Itโ€™s Indian summer in Santa Cruz and restaurateur Sally Solari decides an open-air painting class is the perfect way for her to learn more about Paul Gaugin, the inspiration for her familyโ€™s newest restaurant. But the beauty of the Monterey Bay coastline is shattered when Sallyโ€™s dog Buster sniffs out a corpse tangled up in kelp.

The body is identified as Gino, a local fisherman and a regular at the Solarisโ€™ restaurant until he disappeared after dining there a few nights before. Witnesses claim he left reeling drunk, but his waitress swears Gino only had two beers with his dinner. And then the fingers begin to point at Sallyโ€™s dad for negligently allowing an inebriated customer to walk home alone at night.

From a long menu of suspects that includes Anastasia, the mysterious woman who dined with Gino that fateful night, Ginoโ€™s deckhand Bobby, and bocce player Frank who accused Gino of cheating, Sally must serve up the tall order to clear her fatherโ€™s name.
