The Marquesa's Necklace - The Harmony Duprie Mysteries, #1

Harmony Duprie enjoyed her well-ordered life in the quiet little town of Oak Grove-until her arrest for drug trafficking. Cleared of all charges, she wants nothing more than to return to the uneventful lifestyle of a historical researcher she once savored. But when her beloved old car "George" is stolen and explodes into a ball of flames, it sets off a series of events that throws her plans into turmoil.
Toss in a police detective that may or may not be interested in her, an attractive but mysterious stranger on her trail, and an ex-boyfriend doing time, and Harmony's life freefalls into a downward spiral of chaos. Now she has to use her research skills to figure out who is behind the sinister incidents plaguing her, and why. And she better take it seriously, like her life depends upon finding the right answers.
Because it might. The Marquesa's Necklace is approximately 65, 000 words
