A Kate Hamilton Mystery (Book 2)
Kate Hamilton is off to visit her daughter, Christine, in the English village of Long Barston. Christine and her boyfriend work at crumbling Finchley Hall. Kate is intrigued by the docent's tales of the Finchley Hoard, and the strange deaths surrounding the renowned treasure trove. But next to a small lake, Kate spies the body of a young woman, killed by a garden spade, and finds that a Burmese ruby has vanished from the legendary Blood-Red Ring, replaced by a lesser garnet. Were the theft and the woman's death connected? When another body is found, the clues point toward Christine, and it's up to Kate to clear her name.
