WHEN HOLLYWOOD COMES TO SANTA FE, MURDER SOON FOLLOWS.
It's a glitzy group that gathers at Tony Quayles's Santa Fe home to finalize plans for his new movie. The guest of honor: feisty Dame Charlotte Saxe-Ogilvy, whose Jamaican plantation will provide the shoot's location.
But then Dame Charlotte is murdered and robbed of her priceless jewels. Reuben, a Santa Fe artist and Quayles's caretaker, is the prime suspect: the jewels are found in Reuben's paint box.
Who framed him? The answer, Reuben surmises, has flown to Turtle Bay, Jamaica, with Quayles and his entourage. And truth in that tropical paradise can be double-edged and deadly. . . .
