About The Book:
Alice Carta went to Canada to leave her painful memories of London behind for good. An archaeologist by trade, she chose a job in a library in a tiny, remote town in Nova Scotia. A peaceful, sleepy village with a view of the bay, in which she could process difficult emotions without anyone bothering her. She adopted a companion, a German Shepherd named Boldy, and settled in for a reclusive chapter in her life, until he found the body. Against everything in her, Alice gets swept into a baffling whirlwind of intrigue, arson, deception and murder, and finds herself trying to unravel a case of stolen artifacts, hidden identities and a decades-old curse.

Book Blurbs:
Alice and Boldy are a charming, dynamic duo. Alice’s appreciation of good food and great coffee, along with her sharp wit and her Alice-Carter way of seeing the world, makes her someone I want to invite over for dinner. My only request would be that she leave the dead bodies at home.– Patricia Dunn (T.M. Dunn), author of Her Father’s Daughter
