When he finds clues to an ancient treasure, an Egyptologist plans a very modern heist …

Brilliant Egyptologist Harold Barnaby has discovered a message hidden inside a particularly difficult set of hieroglyphics. It just may lead him to a secret tomb holding the greatest riches of the ancient world. Barnaby could put his name to the most fantastic archaeological find of the century. But he doesn't just want to dig it up. He wants to steal it.

With the help of a smuggler, a thief, and an English lord, he plans his heist. They find that tomb raiding is trickier than they thought, and those who steal from dead Egyptians face dangers worse than a mummy's ancient curse.

It's the spring of 1933 and times are tough all over. The only businessman not struggling is moonshiner Mickey LeDoux, though he still has to steer clear of federal agents. But banks are closing all over the country, and the small town of Darling is no exception. Folks are suddenly caught short on cash and everyone is in a panic.

Desperate to avoid disaster, several town leaders — including Alvin Duffy, the bank's new vice president — hatch a plan to print Darling Dollars on newspaperman Charlie Dickens' printing press. The "funny money" can serve as temporary currency so the town can function. But when the first printing of the scrip disappears, the Darling Dahlias set out to discover who made an unauthorized withdrawal.

Meanwhile County Treasurer Verna Tidwell questions whether she can trust Alvin Duffy — and the feelings he stirs up inside her. And Liz Lacy learns her longtime beau may be forced into a shotgun wedding. Seems other troubles don't just go away when there's a crisis. There'll be no pennies from heaven, but if anyone can balance things out, folks can bank on the Darling Dahlias …

She was beautiful. Blonde. And bloody. McCleary doesn't know who she is. And he can't remember who he is.

When the maid walked into the motel room, she found Mike McCleary sacked out on one bed and a dead woman on the other. To the police, the private investigator claims he doesn't know the victim or, for that matter, his own name. And despite the knot at the back of his skull and the powerful hypnotic in his blood, McCleary is still the number one suspect.

It's up to his wife and partner, Quin St. James, to prove him innocent — and that's not all. Because the killer who stole McCleary's past has returned to claim his life. And someone with twenty years of memories on ice makes one easy target.
