Flippin' the Bird

A Cozy Mystery

Skye Belew-Smith, antiques dealer, grand-mother, and curator of all things old, displaced, lost... But what, she wonders, should she do with the human finger that turns up in a box of flatware?

The police think she's a crackpot, her girlfriends think she should throw it in the trash, and her new boyfriend might be a vivisectionist offering her a ring he relieved from the finger of his late wife.

Skye and her scatty friends, "the former wives of Rocky Smith", embark on a quest to reunite the finger with its hand of origin. When Russell. Byrd, a local elite, turns up dead...and missing his middle finger, all fingers point toward Skye Belew-Smith for motive and opportunity.
