A local dispute leads to suspicion of murder for a small-town California bookshop owner in this cozy mystery by the New York Times bestselling author.

The small town of South Cove, California, has all kinds of attractions, from resorts and beaches to Jill Gardner's charming bookshop café. But now Jill may have discovered yet another hidden treasure. The old stone wall on her property might be the remnant of a centuries-old mission worthy of being declared a historical landmark. There's just one problem -- and his name is Craig Morgan.
The obnoxious owner of South Cove's most popular tourist spot, The Castle, Craig makes it his business to contest Jill's claim. When Craig is found murdered at The Castle shortly after a heated argument with Jill, even her detective boyfriend Greg has to ask her for an alibi. Jill decides she must find the real murderer to clear her name. But when the killer comes for her, she'll need to switch from historic preservation to self-preservation.
