Armond turned to him, his face refusing to disguise obvious disdain. As far as he was concerned, his directive was simple—one that should not have secured authorities' attention. Surely, now that the damage was done, there would be questions—a position he didn't relish.  As he considered the issue, he also considered—again—if it were time to make changes within his organization. Disappointment in his right-hand man was becoming familiar, prompting him to wonder if Luca Russo could be trusted to perform his duties without babysitting. "Current, or no current—the result is the same. It is a mistake that can cost us everything!" In that moment, Armond Coniglio made a decision.  It was, indeed, time for a change.  Her life again on track, Colbie accepts a new case thrusting her into the depths of the fashion industry, sending her on a whirlwind investigation to New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Hired by Basile Duchon, international designer, to investigate his orchestrated demise from the public eye, what seems a straightforward case morphs into one of insight, intuition, and intrigue.  And, danger . . .

RELICS. RIDDLES. REALITY.  Nathan Moss stood, false bravado tanking with each passing second. It never occurred to him Clifford Rasmussen wouldn't agree to his new terms, and leaving without a briefcase full of cash wasn't exactly what Moss had in mind.       "I suggest," Rasmussen calmly continued, "you take the opportunity to think about your position. If you come to your senses, I will, of course, listen . . ."     With that, Nathan Moss was unceremoniously dismissed. It was an embarrassment rocking him to his core and, in that moment, he made a promise to himself—give the greedy and insufferable Clifford Rasmussen what he wanted?      "Over my dead body . . ."      When Colbie's Yucatan vacation for self-discovery shifts in an unexpected direction, she can't refuse when an old colleague suggests working together to solve the murder of archaeologist, Richard Sanderson. Returning to Georgia in search of the truth, roadblocks force her to embed herself in a world of relics, riddles, and reality as she delves into a history she barely knows. Secrets lead to lies . . .      And, lies lead to . . .

POLITICS. CORRUPTION. MURDER. Harry, too, was anything but trustworthy, a trait his son dutifully carried with a certain amount of pride. When a young lady—Harry called her a 'gold-digging tart'—accused his son of fatherhood shortly after Halloween two decades prior, only a select few within the Stanton social circle had any idea of such a false atrocity. All rumors and gossip were quashed, of course, by the heavyweight politico no one chose to confront. Not only that, no one had the guts to call Harry Stanton exactly what he was . . . A bald-faced liar. When Colbie takes in upon herself to investigate a case that doesn't officially exist, its trajectory catapults her into a world of politics, corruption, and murder. While the spirit apparition of her best friend points her in the right direction, it's up to Colbie to interpret the clues given in sign language. Pressed to honor her friend's spiritual presence, she sets out to decode the messages, setting in motion an investigation that could change the country forever.
