Rattling Old Family Skeletons
North Carolina native Abigail Timberlake, owner of the Den
of Antiquity, is quick to dismiss the seller of a hideous
old vase—until the poor lady comes hurtling back through
the shop window minutes later, the victim f a fatal hit-
and-run.
Tall, dark, and handsome Homicide Investigator Greg
Washburn—who just happens to be Abby's boyfriend—is
frustrated by conflicting accounts from eyewitnesses. And
he's just short of furious with his ever-loving, when he
learns it was a valuable Ming vase, and Abby let it vanish
from the crime scene. Abby decides she had better find out
for herself what happened to the treasure—and to the lady
who was dying to get rid of it.
It turns out the victim had a lineage that would make a
Daughter of the Confederacy green with envy, and her
connection with the historic old Roselawn Plantation makes
that a good place to start sleuthing. Thanks to her own
mama's impeccable southern credentials, Abby is granted an
appointment with the board members—but no one gives her
permission to snoop. And digging into the long-festering
secrets of a proud family of the Old South turns out to be
a breach of good manners that could land Abby six feet
under in the family plot.Rattling Old Family Skeletons
