When Irene Albertine is murdered and falls out of Set-Nohr's mummy coffin at the Night of the Scarab Gala, her shocked father Maximilian hires Diane Phipps, P.I., to find the culprit. She dives into Irene's world and the Albertine Center for Egyptian Studies and Museum and is reminded that things are not always as they seem. Sheriff Cotton is stymied and leans toward U.S. Marshal Buck Dawson's conclusion that Irene was killed for her rare red diamond cartouche. But Diane isn't so sure. Ill-tempered Irene's friends list was short...for reasons to explore. Diane interviews people of interest in Irene's unsettled life, wondering who could bear a grudge. Among many, was it Margaret, Max's love interest, whom Irene had resented? Perhaps Peter, whose student days at Albertine's are threatened, thanks to Irene. How about Mr. Roberts, museum gift shop manager, whom Irene had harassed? After Diane finds coordinates hidden by Irene, she suspects there's more to Irene's travels to Egypt than meets the eye. Also, had the killer also targeted her father by ruining the gala? Danger lurks. Lured to a star party at the Sand Dunes has her being attacked and dumped down a mine shaft. Diane vows: Killer beware!
Autorenporträt
Karen Hudgins has always loved stories--in all their form--and settled into writing fiction about 19 years ago. She particularly likes creating characters and settings, making the places seem like characters. Born in Pennsylvania (Lancaster County), her life has offered her chances to live in the South, the Mid-West, and now the West in Colorado. She first devoted her spirit, creativity, and imagination to learning the craft of writing by creating contemporary, single-title romance full-length novels, exploring the ups and downs of true love with happy endings. Seven of them. Her latest efforts have shown up in the Mystery Section with the Diane Phipps, P.I. series. She is sticking with happy endings because Diane fights the good fight and solves stubborn cold cases. Karen has a B.S. in Behavioral Science, which comes in handy for writing about story people. She's a mom, a grandma, and her ginger cat's best buddy. When not writing, Karen likes photography, gardening, music, movies, time with people, Nature, and her book club. She's active on Facebook, keeping connected to friends, former classmates and co-workers, and family. She's currently working on her eleventh mystery novella.
