A murdered woman.
An antique Art Deco necklace.
A reason to celebrate
And a reason to mourn. The future couldn't have been brighter now that Joan had sold her business and had planned an around the world trip with her husband. With the sale completed, she had the money and the time to do exactly what she'd always wanted to do. Along with her husband, family, ex-business partner, and several friends, she attended an outdoor concert to celebrate the sale. It was the culmination of everything she'd ever wanted.
When she briefly left the concert at intermission, she decided to walk away from the crowds so she could look at the stars. As she was gazing up into the magical night sky, she recognized the person who walked up behind her and felt no fear. She also never felt the knife as it was plunged into her body. Fortunately, her death was sudden and swift.
Detective Jeff Combs has the case, and as she has so many times before, his wife, Marty, agrees to help. Neither of them could have foreseen the consequences that changed their life.
