Trouble, Treasure, and a Trip to Egypt
-1922, Pasadena, California-
Daisy Gumm Majesty has retired her Ouija board-after all, respectable widows don't go around communing with spirits. But when her best client, Mrs. Pinkerton, offers an absurd sum of money for one more séance, Daisy decides she can pretend to talk to ghosts just one more time.
What she didn't expect was for that séance to lead to an extravagant trip to Egypt, courtesy of Mrs. P's son and Daisy's best friend, Harold Kincaid. But no good deed (or in this case, questionable séance) goes unpunished. A casual marketplace purchase lands Daisy in the middle of an antiquities smuggling ring, a criminal conspiracy, and-just her luck-another encounter with the ever-grumpy Detective Sam Rotondo, who seems to have followed her across the world.
With a stolen relic in her possession and villains lurking in the shadows, Daisy must summon all her wits (and maybe even a spirit or two) to get out of this mess-preferably without landing in an Egyptian jail.
Alice Duncan spent years avoiding what she knew she should be doing-writing-by professionally folk dancing instead. Eventually, her muse won the battle, and she's been crafting engaging historical cozy mysteries ever since. Now a proud resident of Roswell, New Mexico, Alice enjoys the lack of smog and crowds while spoiling her beloved herd of wild dachshunds. Visit her at www.aliceduncan.net.
Don't miss a moment of the action with Daisy and her cadre of friends as they solve mysteries in 1920s Pasadena! Each story stands alone but is best enjoyed in order.
