About this ebook

When a con artist turns up dead in his small town, can gift shop owner Ray clear his name?

Ray Watson is ready for a quiet December in Dusky Cove, the cutest little resort town up and down the North Carolina coast. All he has do is watch his gift shop and the B&B across the street for a few days.

A happy occasion brings back a familiar face to Dusky Cove. But when the hometown boy turns out to be a con artist, the reunion is a little less than joyful. Especially once he turns up dead.

The trouble gets even deeper when the grifter’s victims become prime suspects—including Ray. With the town’s resident sleuth on vacation, it falls to Ray and his wife Katie to clear his name. Can he find who really killed the con?

About the author

Di Davis was born and raised in North Carolina. (Sorry, not in Dusky Cove—yep, it’s a fictional town.)

Di has been writing since she was a teenager. She makes her home with her husband and children in the Rocky Mountains now, so writing about Dusky Cove is one of her favorite ways to connect with a little taste of home.
