RIDDLE IN BONES

Flush with funds from her last Abishag contract, 20-year-old Leslie Greene is sorting mule bones alongside a revered professor of physical anthropology and Sebastian, grandson of her first comatose husband. A shot rings out and her summer internship spins into a third Abishag marriage for Leslie.

Pressured by the agency, her ex-boyfriend, and her parents, Leslie takes on another nearly-dead husband this time in California’s Palm Desert. Someone shot Henry over an ancient love affair, a mysterious box of bones, or rivalry in the field. Leslie is determined to discover the truth and bring her husband peace in his last days.

Dealing with the trauma of the past year, the sweltering heat, and Sebastian’s hot French housekeeper, Leslie and Kat must solve a dangerous riddle in bones before the killer shoots again.
