Description
For bargain hunter extraordinaire Sarah Winston, starting life over in Ellington, Massachusetts,has been a true trash-to-treasure success story, except when there's a run on dead bodies . . .

Sarah's latest client, Alice Krandle, is sure she has a fortune in antiques on her hands. She's already gotten a generous offer for the whole lot before her garage sale has even begun, but she thinks she can earn more with Sarah's expert help. The problem is that while Sarah's sorting through items from decades past, her landlady, Stella, faces a clear and present danger.

Stella's kidnapper has contacted Sarah with a set of instructions, and "Don't call the police" is at the top of the list. But they didn't say anything about Sarah's friend Harriet—who happens to be a former FBI hostage negotiator . . .
