Stephanie Jones’ relationship with her boyfriend is dead in the water. Literally...

Jock Tanner has stood up Stephanie for the last time when he’s a no-show at the community celebration. She’s had it with their on-again, off-again relationship and plans to end it permanently. That is, if he’d just answer his darn phone! She’s hoping to find him in the crowd, but her girlfriends stop at a gypsy wagon to have their palms read instead. When it’s her turn, the gypsy issues a stern warning. “Your life is in danger, watch out for the stranger.” Thinking it’s a joke, she heads to Jock’s cabin cruiser on the marina to confront him and finds him there, but he’s not talking. He has a knife stuck in his chest.

A large cache of diamonds is missing from the vault in Jock’s jewelry store and his partner believes it’s in Stephanie’s possession. So does everyone else in Jock’s orbit. Before his death, that’s what he’d confided to several close friends. The trouble is, she doesn’t know anything about the diamonds or if they even exist, but no one believes her. She’s determined to let it go and get on with her life until her house is ransacked, her doggy is put in harm’s way, and her garden is destroyed by someone desperate to find them.

Teaming up with Jock’s cousin, she uncovers Jock’s deepest secrets until she’s confronted with the greatest secret of all—his murderer.
