From the Back Cover:
Oboist Georgiana Quilter is living on a sailboat, rebuilding her life after losing her dream job as a major orchestra oboist due to a gunshot wound. Her famous, dead boyfriend, whom she defended in a gunfight, is still hanging around.
Hired by the harbor master, Georgiana is tasked with getting a widow’s signature on a dock replacement contract, but the woman is nowhere to be found. The murder next door, Georgiana deduces, coincides with her disappearance.
While contending with death threats, Georgiana faces a lawsuit from her deceased boyfriend’s sister, an inability to play her oboe professionally, property break-ins, an assault and mugging, and the sudden reappearance of her long-lost father. In her investigations, she receives help from her sexy security-expert friend, Arceneaux, and her cop buddy, Lucy. Georgiana confronts those responsible for the widow’s disappearance after she discovers the woman’s fate.
About the Author:
Julia Shovein is the author of three nautically themed mystery books with a fun female amateur sleuth at the helm. Julia worked for thirty years as a university professor of nursing (Professor Emeritus) and began writing her first mystery novel when she retired and began sailing around the world with her husband on a small sailboat. The circumnavigation took seven years, with longer stops in New Zealand, Turkey, and six wonderful months in London at St. Katherine Dock. Returning to their home in Paradise, California, they had just enough time to completely remodel their house before the Campfire hit and destroyed the entire town.
Julia currently lives in Bremerton, Washington, with her husband and Husky. They belong to the Poulsbo Yacht Club.
