Footprints in the Sand: A Piper Donovan Mystery

Itamp;#39;s the dead of winter and struggling actress and wedding-cake decorator Piper Donovan is thrilled to be in warm and romantic Sarasota, Florida, enjoying the powdery white beaches, soothing seas, and golden sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. She and her family are there to celebrate her beloved cousinamp;#39;s wedding. Not only is Piper creating the sugar-sand-dollar-festooned wedding cake, sheamp;#39;s also the maid of honor.

But a cloud seems to be hovering over the whole affair. Shortly after a bridesmaid mysteriously disappears, a kindly neighboramp;#39;s car is run off the road and a prospective witness, an innocent Amish teenager, is threatened to keep silent. Then a body is found on the beach where the wedding will take place. With the nuptials threatened, it falls to Piper to unmask a killer. Could it be the wedding planner with something to hide? A doctor and his wife who collect unusual Japanese figurines? The best man, an examp;#8211;drug dealer with lecherous eyes and roving hands? What about her cousinamp;#39;s future stepfatheramp;#8212;or even the bridegroom himself?

As Piper gets close to figuring out whoamp;#39;s been covering his guilty footprints in the sand, the cunning killer has already set his sights on Piper as his next victim!
