About the Cozy Murder Mystery - Death, Dice & Southern Spice

"There's gold in them thar hills, but if you know what's good for ya, leave it be. It belongs to The People and they don't take kindly to anyone sniffin' around in those mountains." -Ned 'Tater' Potter

"Nice lookin' fellow, too. She found him curled up like a baby behind a pile of ammo in an exhibit at the Briar Ridge Military Park with an Arkansas Toothpick run through his back."-Peg Sanderson

When Martha's Aunt Tilda runs afoul of a Cuban mafioso, the wig-loving queen of the poker tournament circuit goes on the run with her partner in crime, Jackie 'Boy' Divine. Terrified they will end up as divalicious shark bait, Tilda calls in Helen and Martha to find a priceless family heirloom, a sapphire and ruby necklace, she hopes will pay off her gambling debt.

The Roller Necklace is worth a king's ransom, but it has a stormy past. Duchesses, pirates, bushwhackers, and lovers down through history have brushed up against its magic only to hold it for a short time. Now lost for over a hundred and fifty years, the necklace lies deep in a cave on Bob's Knob, a rugged, pine tree-laden hill in the Ozark Mountains.

Enlisting the help of an irascible mountain man and a tough-as-nails water department manager, Helen and Martha race to find the necklace's last resting place before The People can get their hands on it. This treasure hunt isn't for the faint of heart. Come along for the girl's southern homecoming, but beware. There are watchers in the woods, human and feline, and both have murder on their minds.
