Glassblower Emmeline Dowell has made a home for herself among the artists of Tucson's Warehouse District. Between teaching her craft and selling her wares, she has plenty to do-not to mention the occasional murder to put a crack in her routine.
With a weakness for taking in strays-from homeless dogs to extra students-Emmeline can't help befriending the troubled newcomer Allison McBride. But their friendship takes a dangerous turn when Allison's husband turns up dead in Em's studio.
Now Emmeline is involved in a murder investigation that reaches beyond the sunny Southwest. And when the killer acts again, it's up to her to pick up the shards of Allison's life before it's too late.
