A murdered art dealer.

A missing love-child.

Can Michele close the book on her neighbor's mysterious past before a killer sets his sights on her?

"Spellbinding." — Jo Bryan, Dry Creek Book Club

With her kids away for the summer, widow Michele Lopez Hanson struggles with her newfound solitude. When her unmarried retired neighbor Gidget asks her to document her career in the art world, she's eager for the company... and the advice on coping with an empty nest. But their trek down memory lane turns into a missing person search when Gidget dies and leaves behind a will that tasks Michele with finding her long-lost love child.

Before the casket lid closes, she feels a wave of sympathy for the endless stream of mourners from Gidget's days as a high-powered art dealer. But when she learns the murderous truth behind Gidget's death and she's named the prime suspect, Michele realizes any one of the grieving artists and collectors could be the love child's mystery father or her neighbor's killer. To complete the memoir and clear her name, Michele must discover the ugly motives behind the picture-perfect murder before she joins her friend six-feet-under.
