Spirits Unearthed — Alice Duncan

A Body, a Shoe, and a Dachshund with a Nose for Trouble…

-- 1925, Pasadena, California --

Daisy Gumm Majesty has an unusual talent for stumbling over dead bodies -- quite literally this time. A simple visit to her late husband's grave takes a grim turn when Daisy's ever-curious dachshund, Spike, proudly presents her with a shoe... that still has a foot in it.

To no one's surprise, Daisy's fiancé, Detective Sam Rotondo, is less than amused. Even worse, the body belongs to the not-so-beloved Dr. Everhard Wagner, a man with enough enemies to populate a small country. His battered widow isn't exactly in mourning, his children are keeping secrets, and Daisy, once again, is in the thick of it.

Now, with Pasadena's most incorrigible spiritualist poking around where she shouldn't, Sam has his hands full trying to solve a murder before Daisy lands herself in a grave of her own.

Alice Duncan spent years avoiding what she knew she should be doing -- writing -- by professionally folk dancing instead. Eventually, her muse won the battle, and she's been crafting engaging historical cozy mysteries ever since. Now a proud resident of Roswell, New Mexico, Alice enjoys the lack of smog and crowds while spoiling her beloved herd of wild dachshunds. Visit her at www.aliceduncan.net.
