A Rock Shop Mystery

Thirty-two-year-old Allie has hit rock bottom. Fired, disbarred and divorced, she's been relegated to minimum wage obscurity. Things look up when her uncle's will names her the new co-owner of The Alabaster in the trendy new age Mecca of Sedona. Unfortunately it comes with murder.

Allie Renault’s business "The Alabaster" is going great so why did she have to come up with the crazy plan to sell rocks online? What started as a great idea has morphed into a major headache. Now an angry customer has her on a road trip to the remote Carson Quarry to retrieve a promised delivery that never came.... When she arrives, she’s greeted with a grisly surprise. The bloodstone is waiting for her, but if she wants to load it into her truck, she’s going to have to remove the dead body sprawled on top.

Disgraced former prosecutor and reinvented rock shop owner Allie Renault is still learning how to navigate the fascinating world of rocks, gems and minerals. A 10-day partnership with one of her late Uncle Jasper’s old friends at one of Tuscon’s best mineral shows seems like a fantastic opportunity. That is, until she meets her partner, Cash. He's annoying. Opinionated. Obstinate. Things go from bad to worse when they discover a woman’s body in a crate of calcite shipped to them from Mexico. Cash advises Allie to mind her own business and let the police do their job.
