- A Sarah Booth Delaney mystery Book 11 .
When PI Sarah Booth Delaney and her partner and best friend, Tinkie, accept Monica and Eleanor Levert as clients, they don't have much hope of solving the case. The wealthy heiresses of Briarcliff in Natchez, Mississippi, claim that a family necklace worth four million dollars has been stolen, and they think the insurance payout will be swifter with a reputable PI on the case. Sarah Booth has her doubts, and not just about the payout. There's evidence suggesting that fraud may be involved. Just as Sarah and Tinkie start scratching the surface of the Levert family's sordid past and the blood money that all of their wealth was founded upon, Monica goes missing. The police suspect that the heiresses are playing more games -- and Eleanor is no help at all. What no one knows is that Eleanor is the kidnappers' ace in the hole. If Eleanor says or does anything besides pass on the insurance money to the kidnappers, Monica will die.
