As a research assistant for a Texas detective agency, Maggie Haslo has a knack for connecting the dots. She can see that the facts don’t add up in the suspicious death of her friend Mando. A history professor at the local university, Mando was killed in what the police are calling a drive-by shooting—but Maggie’s not buying it.
Before his death, Mando
had invited Maggie to the diving site of a sunken Spanish galleon off
the Gulf coast; when her friend, Sister Clare, asks her to come
investigate suspicious circumstances at her convent on nearby Mustang
Island, Maggie decides to combine trips. A few days later, a nun is
murdered, and Maggie makes a shocking discovery: the deaths of Mando and the nun are related.
As
she drives back and forth between the city and the island with her
faithful German shepherd, Zoe, Maggie must put aside her sadness for the
friends she has lost in order to be strong for friends that are still
living. In the process, she meets more trouble than she could have
imagined, but also a blue-eyed detective—who turns out to be trouble of
different kind.
Maggie’s detective skills are about to be put to the ultimate test. Can she crack the case before another dead body shows up?

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
