All that remains of Lula Mae Wiggins—who drowned in a
bathtub of cheap champagne on New Year's Eve—now sits in
an alleged Etruscan urn in Savannah, Georgia. Further
north, at the Den of Antiquity antique shop in Charlotte,
North Carolina, plucky proprietor Abigail Timberlake is
astonished to learn that she is the sole inheitor of the
Wiggins estate. Late Aunt Lula Mae was, after all, as
distant a relative as kin can get.
Arriving in picturesque Savannah, Abby makes a couple of
startling discoveries. First, that Lula Mae's final
resting pot is more American cheap than Italian antique.
And second, that there was a very valuable 1793 one-cent
piece taped to the inside lid. Perhaps a coin collection
worth millions is hidden among the deceased's worldly
possessions-making Lula's passing more suspicious than
originally surmised. With the strange appearance of a
voodoo priestess coupled with the disturbing disappearance
of a loved one-and with nasty family skeletons tumbling
from the trees like acorns—Abby needs to find her penny
auntie's killer p.d.q...or she'll be up to her ashes in
serious trouble!
