<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In this thrilling mystery in the <i>New York Times </i>bestselling series, <b>herbalist and ex-lawyer China Bayles finds herself on the trail of </b>a nearly fifteen-year-old cold case... </b> <p/> When China and Ruby's friend Karen Prior is mugged in a mall parking lot and dies a few days later, China begins to suspect that her friend's death was not a random assault. Karen was a filmmaker supervising a student documentary about the almost fifteen-year-old murder of a woman named Christine Morris and the acquittal of the man accused of the crime. Is it possible that the same person who killed Christine Morris targeted Karen? <p/> Delving into the cold case, China learns the motive for the first murder may be related to a valuable collection of Mexican art. Enlisting the help of her San Antonio lawyer friend Justine Wyzinski--aka the Whiz--China is determined to track down the murderer. But is she painting herself into a corner from which there's no escape?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for Susan Wittig Albert's <i>New York Times</i> bestselling China Bayles Mysteries</b> <p/>"[Albert] consistently turns out some of the best-plotted mysteries on the market."--<i>Houston Chronicle </i> <p/>"Engrossing...China continues to appeal with her herbal information and savvy sleuthing."--<i>Booklist</i> (starred review) <p/>"[China Bayles is] such a joy...An instant friend."--Carolyn Hart, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author <p/> "One of the best-written and [most] well-plotted mysteries I've read in a long time."--<i>Los Angeles Times</i> <p/>"Albert's dialogue and characterizations put her in a class with lady sleuths V.
