Stephanie Jonesâ relationship with her boyfriend is dead in the water. Literally...
Jock Tanner has stood up Stephanie for the last time. Sheâs had it with their on-again, off-again relationship and plans to end it permanently. That is, if heâd just answer his darn phone! Convinced heâs avoiding her, she heads to his cabin cruiser on the marina to confront him and finds him there, but he's not talking. He has a knife stuck in his chest.
A large cache of diamonds is missing from the vault in Jockâs jewelry store and his partner believes itâs in Stephanieâs possession. So does everyone else in Jockâs orbit. Before his death, thatâs what heâd confided to several close friends. The trouble is, she doesnât know anything about the diamonds or if they even exist, but no one believes her. Sheâs determined to let it go and get on with her life until her house is ransacked and her garden is destroyed by someone searching for them.
Teaming up with Jockâs cousin, she uncovers Jockâs deepest secrets until sheâs confronted with the greatest secret of all--his murderer.
