Small town. Big money. One peculiar sleuth.

The year is 1982, and private investigator Rodrick Gray has a most unusual way of solving cases. Everyone has feelings, and Rod can see them?as soul gardens full of greenery, odd creatures, and pinpoint weather.

This time, he's on the trail of greed.

Before she died, Millie Barnhill hid a million dollars on her property and left her estranged family a will that reads more like a treasure map. With one day left before it all goes to the local nature society, Millie's daughter hires Rod to find the money?or the relative who's already pocketed it.

But Millie's treasure hunt may have tempted a killer.

Now Rod faces a choice. Walk away, or bend the one rule he's always kept?No Murder Cases. Because there's one kind of soul garden he never wants to see.

Prequel novella in the Soul Garden Mystery series. About 100 pages.
