PAINTINGS SLASHED. . . FURNITURE BROKEN . . . SOMEONE IS WREAKING HAVOC AT THE BLUE MOON ART & ANTIQUES GALLERY. Fledgling private investigator Karen Maxwell goes undercover as a salesclerk to find out who's behind the vandalism--and why. She learns little from Vicki, a friendly clerk who, aside from her designer clothes and sports car, seems interested only in rearranging pictures to display them to maximum advantage. Eric, the shop's surly, tight-lipped porter, would run over her with a hand truck before he'd answer any questions. The guilt may even lay with the shop owners themselves, despite the fact that they're the ones who hired her. Karen's investigation seems to be going nowhere. . .just like her once-promising relationship with Brian, the handsome blacksmith who could sweep her off her feet in a minute--if he'd ever take a break from working with the church youth group. Frustration mounts as her dreams of romantic evenings turn into endless rehearsals for the church Christmas play. If Karen can't crack the case soon, she may find herself busted back to plain, old office manager, her dreams of a career as a private investigator--and a life with Brian--as old and busted as the Blue Moon's vandalized antiques.… (mais)

This book is dedicated to all of the Conlan family. Thanks for your love and support.
I'd like to thank my critique partners Lisa Cochrane, Christie Kelley, Kathy Love, Janet Mullany, and Kate Poole, as well as my editors Susan Downs, Candice Speare, and Ellen Tarver. In addition, I need to thank Sharon Zarate and Shelley Harris for sharing their expertise about the business of private investigation and the sale of art and antiques, respectively. I also owe thanks to my parents for a lifetime of unfailing support and to my sister Peg, the ultimate plotting partner. And finally, thanks to Jim, Trent and Meg---even though you're first in my heart, sometimes you end up last on the agenda. But I couldn't do it without you.

Why was an Lhanging in the window? I set down the plastic container of leftovers I had been unsuccessfully trying to shove into a lunch box and went over to the living room to investigate. The sparse light of the November morning reflected in the remains of a glass ornament hanging from the window latch. The bottom and left side had been broken off, so that what was once a crystal cross was now just a dangerous-looking piece of glass in the shape of the letter L. Fractured crystal shards lay scattered on the carpet below. A small tag dangled forlornly alongside the broken ornament with words in Brian's distinctive scrawl: To Karen, Keep the Faith..
