Spain's siestas are a welcome change from NYC's hustle. But getting to know the neighbors is murder.

When an arrogant Brit dies at an American's table in sunny Spain, can she untangle a poisonous plot before anyone else kicks the bucket?

Emily Sharp suffers no fools. So when the thirty-something art appraiser's unyielding moral code gets her fired, she dumps Manhattan's chilly disgrace for the warm Spanish coast and an old townhouse she's inherited. But her get-to-know-you dinner with the locals ends on a sour note when one guest's meal leaves him stone-cold dead.

With the sleepy, small-town police convinced she's the one who did in the pompous diner, Emily starts sleuthing to clear her name. But with a sexy dive shop owner attracting her attention, her scandalous past coming to light, and more bodies piling up, the expat amateur PI fears a killer's about to put her down for a permanent siesta.

Will Emily's eye for detail help her say adios to a murderer?
