The death of Emmaline McCoy's beloved aunt Lydie in a hit-an-run accident shatters her world. Granted two weeks of bereavement leave from her corporate Los Angeles job, Emma heads to the small Northern California coastal town of Justice Bay to settle Lydie's estate and sell her waterfront cottage. As Emma navigates grief and lookie-loo home buyers, she opens a popup store in town to re-home the antiques and collectibles accumulated from her aunt's travels. The sluggish pace of the police investigation and a growing belief that her aunt's death was not an accident compel her to search for clues on her own. Her investigation uncovers alarming information and stimulates the onset of bizarre paranormal visions. Emma's out-of-body images and her amassed evidence point to the person at the wheel of the murder car, landing her in a killer's crosshairs. In her corner throughout the ordeal are her aunt's wise and quirky Siberian Forest cat Boo, her retired FBI Special Agent neighbor, Walter Kestrel, and his easy-on-the-eyes nephew Cooper Dane, a recovering attorney-turned-sailor whose skill set extends beyond tying bowlines and litigating torts.

About the Author
Smiley, Patricia: - Patricia Smiley is the author of eight mystery novels. Her short fiction appeared in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine and Two of the Deadliest, an anthology edited by Elizabeth George. Patty taught writing at various writers' conferences in the U.S. and Canada. She is the former vice president of the Southern California chapter of Mystery Writers of America and served as president of Sisters in Crime Los Angeles. Smiley earned a BA from the University of Washington in Seattle and an MBA from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. She lives in Los Angeles with her two loyal and opinionated Siberian Forest cats, and a backyard after-hours feeding station for possums, raccoons, marauding felines, and other critters in search of a snack and a cool sip of water. Despite the distractions, work continues on her next Justice Bay novel.
