by Ellery Adams (release date March 1st), J.B.'s alter ego! Pre-order your copy TODAY!
While walking her poodle, Olivia Limoges discovers a dead body buried in the sand. Could it be connected to the bizarre burglaries plaguing Oyster Bay, North Carolina? The Bayside Book Writers prick up their ears and pick up their pens to get the story…
The thieves have a distinct MO. At every crime scene, they set up odd tableaus: a bar of butter with a knife through it, dolls with silver spoons in their mouths, a deck of cards with a missing Queen. Olivia realizes each setup represents a cliché.

As the investigation proceeds, Olivia is surprised to find herself falling for the widowed policeman. But an even greater surprise is in store. Her father—lost at sea thirty years ago—may still be alive…
