The narrow cobblestone alleys of Charleston are bustling with shoppers looking for bargains on antiques, heaping bowls of crab chowder - and of course Theodosia Browning's delicious teas. But when the clock strikes ten, the alleys clear, except for one body - discovered by a horrified Theodosia. It's the strangled form of Daria, the map store's owner.
Many locals have shown interest in buying Daria's shop - but enough to kill? Plus there's the customer hell-bent on getting his hands on a certain not-for-sale map. One can hardly throw a scone without hitting a suspect. Most alarming, however, is Detective Tidwell's theory- that the killer mistook Daria for Theodosia. Because that would mean the killer's work isn't yet done . . .
