Blackmail in the Big Easy turns to cold-blooded murder in this debut cozy mystery perfect for fans of Jane K. Cleland. When the mysterious letter arrives by courier, Valerie Cooper doesn' t know what to make of it. She' s become the beneficiary of her late husband' s estranged uncle' s will-a man she never knew-and inherited a majority partnership in the family' s company, New Orleans Fine Antiques. Valerie knows nothing about antiques, but she decides to learn the business and become an active partner. She' s also got her hands full fending off Collette, a woman who wants to sell the huge old house in the Irish Channel neighborhood Valerie and her husband painstakingly renovated. Valerie isn' t interested in selling-but when her best friend Lauren, drags her to a costume party for the women' s Mardi Gras club, the Krewe of Athena, she stumbles over Collette' s body, a jeweled dagger sticking out of her chest. In a rush of panic, Valerie recognizes the dagger from her shop-and before she knows it, she' s become murder suspect number one. Egged on by Lauren, she starts digging into Collette' s business dealings, and the deeper she digs, the dirtier it gets. Now all fingers are pointing at Valerie. In a desperate bid to clear her name, Valerie frantically tries to find who could have gotten hold of the dagger. But among a cadre of guests in full costume, it could be impossible to find the thief-and unmask the real killer.
