Among her peers, antiques dealer Josie Prescott is known
for her intellect, keen business sense, and most especially
her superior judgment of character. Nothing gets by this
savvy business woman which is why her store is one of the
best antiques and appraisal firms in New Hampshire. From

has been a hands-on employee who consistently goes the
extra mile. Without a doubt, Gretchen always gets the job
done.

Gretchen is a no-show at the office. Things go rapidly from
bad to worse when the police inform her that a dead body
has been discovered in Gretchen's apartment and that her
devoted employee is the number one suspect. How can this
be? And more importantly, where is Gretchen now?
Realizing that her friend may be in over her head,
Josie decides to make it her personal mission to prove
Gretchen's innocence. With the help of her faithful staff,
they stumble upon some disturbing news concerning their
friend's mysterious past. As the uncertainty mounts, the
group begins to question how well they really know their co-
worker. And, is it worth risking Josie's stellar
reputation to help save Gretchen, who could potentially
destroy it all?

suspect.

anyway? Enough to believe she isn’t capable of murder, so
Josie, with a crack team of antiques appraisers at her
side, sets out to find the real killer and bring Gretchen
home safely, no matter the cost.
