The Incident at Sunny Banks
Mosey Frye, real estate agent and amateur sleuth, comes upon a corpse in the garage at Sunny Banks, the home of local towboat magnate Martin Eldridge. Hembree police chief Lieutenant Gus Olivera tracks a lead on a man who tried to extort money from the Captain Jack crew, claiming they were intoxicated on the night of a fatal collision. But Mosey, ever inquisitive, sets her sights on the Eldridges’ distant past and ultimately reveals a more devious plot to destroy the elderly riverman’s legacy and take control of his company.
The Summer House at Larkspur
When Mosey Frye, real estate agent and amateur sleuth, hunts for a summer house on the grounds of an abandoned plantation, she finds not only the house but also skeletal remains at the bottom of an old cistern. That same day, news of the horrific stabbing death of an eremitic nun leaves the citizens of Hembree in hang-jawed shock. Given that the tumble-down estate belonged to the dead nun’s family, Mosey insists there must be a connection between the two events. But Police Chief Gus Olivera, predisposed against Mosey and the Church, scrambles to find a suspect among members of the clergy. Will Olivera solve one on his own? Or will his hopes be dashed when Mosey, once again, drops the clue that points to the killer?
Murder in High Cotton
Murder at Waite House When realtor and sleuth Mosey Frye lists a stigmatized property, solving the murder outshines making the sale. But in a little Delta town, good luck getting the Police Chief to pay you any mind—specially if you're a long-legged, rosy-cheeked blonde. The Terrace Lured by a ripped photograph of members of the local gentry, Mosey visits the grounds of an abandoned mansion, where, on the once stunning terrace, now fallen into ruin, she uncovers a dark past, the chilling murder of a lovely young socialite. House with a Corner Door As a guest at an old Western hotel, Mosey Frye finds herself within striking range of a killer who targets women realtors by pressing poisonous bulbs into their mouths. Out of her usual element, can Mosey adapt and help the local sheriff track down the murderous lunatic before he kills again?

Starting in 1799 after an Apache man led the Spanish to the native copper deposits, miners at the site followed industry developments in the nineteenth century to create a network of underground mines.
