To Live & Die in Dixie

BLOOD STAINS

Callahan Garrity, housedeaner de luxe and occasional private investigator, has no idea what kind of mess she's getting herself into when she agrees to work for a prominent antiques dealer. During her days on the Atlanta police force, shed heard about Elliott Littlefield's sordid reputation, but she's only cleaning his house, after all.

No sooner does her crew begin the job than they discover the bloodied body of a young woman in a bedroom. Then Littlefield hires Callahan to recover a priceless Civil War diary stolen by the killer. Deadly serious antiques collectors, right-wing radicals, and impulsive teenagers make the case a bit more difficult to tidy up than Callahan anticipates...and a whole lot more dangerous.
