One Book in the Grave

Brooklyn Wainwright and her boyfriend, Derek, are staying at her parents' home in Sonoma while their San Franciso loft is being renovated. Brooklyn attends an excavation of a cave and is astonished when it's discovered that the cave contains artwork, rare books, wine, valuable old jewerly--and a body. A closer examination of the dead man reveals a ticket for passage on an ocean liner bound for France--dated more than sixty years ago--and a bullet hole in his chest. Near the body is a first edition copy of A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, which Brooklyn takes. In it she discovers an old paper with directions to find something on the winery property. She and Derek follow them and discover a massive treasure trove of jewels, artwork, silver candlesticks, statuary, and more books. They belonged to French winemakers fleeing the Nazis and were hidden there by the grandfather of their local leader Guru Bob. But did he intend to return them--or did he steal them? Reporters and art appraisers flock to Sonoma, and everyone in town has a theory about the killer. Is he still alive? Does he live nearby? When a murderer begins stalking present-day Sonoma, Brooklyn is determined to solve the mysteries behind the dead man from sixty years ago and the victims of today...

Valentine's Day is approaching in northern California's Lighthouse Cove, the charming seaside town of Victorian homes where Shannon Hammer runs her own construction and restoration business. When Shannon's elderly neighbor Jesse Hennessey doesn't make his daily appearance in the local diner, she goes next door to check on him, only to discover him dead on his couch, the victim of an apparent heart attack. But his house has been ransacked; clearly, someone was looking for something. Shannon scoffs at the suggestion it could be the priceless necklace he claimed to have retrieved from a sunken Spanish galleon. Jesse was always telling tall tales Shannon never believed--that he had a beautiful girlfriend, for example, and that he trained the first team of modern day Navy SEALS. But Jesse's death is officially declared a homicide. And when charming Althea Tannis shows up at the funeral, claiming to have been Jesse's lover, and pawnshop owner "Cuckoo" Clemens says Jesse showed him the fabled necklace, Shannon begins to rethink Jesse's boasts. Shannon's best friend Jane was Jesse's niece and is his heir, and apparently, she had the strongest motive for murder. So before police chief Eric Jensen can put together a case against Jane, Shannon decides to find the killer herself...
