Threads of Deceit

STARTING A NEW LIFE CAN BE A REAL KILLER.

Former antiquities bounty hunter Julie Ellis is on the run, trying to stay one stiletto step ahead of her past. She accepts a position as manager of the Quilt Haus Inn in Missouri wine country, thinking it the perfect place to keep a low profile and embark on a less dangerous career path. It is--until Daniel Franklin walks through the front door and asks for a room.

Daniel claims he's come to Straussberg in search of a famous sunken ship that he believes is buried in a nearby farm field. Julie finds the handsome historian's story odd at best, but when a dead body is discovered at the proposed dig site, it becomes clear somebody else believes the theory and doesn't want the ship or its secrets exposed. But who in the town would possibly care about the old shipwreck? As frightening things start to happen at the inn--all seemingly connected to the hunt for the missing ship--Julie realizes she must unearth the truth or someone else is going to wind up buried.
