Overview

"Alice MacDonald Greer is relishing life, love, and her thriving wills and real estate law practice in small town Coffee Creek, deep in the scenic Texas Hill Country. She's engaged to Ben Kinsear but still puzzling over how they'll merge their lives. Then local politics heat up, and suddenly Alice's life turns hot--maybe too hot to handle. Retired judge Edwin Mahan hires Alice for two unusual tasks: to supervise an archeology dig on his Hill Country property, and to help him publish his controversial history of Coffee County. Intrigued, Alice rises to the challenge. The history manuscript describes murders on the judge's land in 1847-involving dead Comanches, a dead horse, a deadly pistol, and two dead German immigrants. With no murderer caught, no trial was ever held. But Judge Mahan is all about creating ""an accurate fact record."" When Alice and her assistant Silla discover the latest murder victim, it's clear someone will stop at nothing to silence the dead and the living--including Alice. The iconic Hill Country setting of ancient limestone seabed, with its fossils, hidden springs, and blue-green creeks, sets the stage for this legal thriller and for Alice's desperate search for the murderer, aided by the indomitable Silla, her red-haired barrel-racing legal assistant. Join Alice as she tangles with mystery, legal drama, and matters of the heart. Ghost Bones is Book 9 in the Alice MacDonald Greer Mystery series."
