by Mary McMullenIt was a carefree vacation... until death joined the holiday. Emily Denver had been promised stately homes and picture-postcard country gardens when she toured England in June. The travel brochure had said nothing about murder--yet danger was indeed to be part of Emily’s itinerary.

So Emily Denver’s idyllic summer holiday was to become an excursion into peril... simply because (unbeknownst to her) circumstance had placed an expensive but deadly trinket quite literally within her arm’s reach...
