She hasn’t seen her best friend, Colleen, in weeks and fears she may never see her again in this life. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but Private Investigator Liz Talbot is struggling to feel festive.

Though Liz's long-dead best friend, Colleen, warns her the stakes are far higher than Liz imagines, she is hellbent on finding the no-good killer among the bevy of suspects.

When a beloved Charleston professor-and potential investor-is murdered, Liz and Nate discover Darius keeps the PIs on speed dial.Ī shocking number of people had reasons to want the genteel, bowtie wearing, tea-drinking professor dead. Private investigators Liz Talbot and Nate Andrews thought they'd put Darius Baker's troubles to rest-then his recently discovered son ropes him into a hemp farm investment with his college buddies.
