When a fellow student in a local glass blowing class drops dead suddenly, Dr. Kate Chambers can't help but help the police catch the killer. A few questions nag at her: How is a family heirloom tied to the local parish? What really happened on a study abroad trip to Italy? And how did all of that lead to the untimely death of Eugene Rose? Kate Chambers is determined to figure out how the red glass necklace drew so much attention that someone would kill for it before the killer— and the necklace— get away.
