Nestled in the heart of the San Francisco Bay, Ohlone Island has a little something for everyone: beaches, fraud, bakeries, espionage, book clubs, murder
Newcomer Lorna Tollison thought she had left behind the drama and aggravation of New York City. Little did she know that rescuing a local museum from bankruptcy would turn over one of the dirtiest rocks in town. When the police refuse to take the fraud seriously it is up to Lorna and her new friend, Annie, to get to the bottom of this mystery. All that is fine and dandy for a cozy little coastal town mystery, but the real storm brewing under Lorna and Annie's first cadre together is yet to come. Their engagement with the nefarious antiques dealer simply begins their entanglement with a covert government operation that will unravel both of their lives. Saint Charles Place is their zero hour.
