The Lady with the Alligator Case

Jemima' s plans for Christmas involve a road trip to Wisconsin and resuscitation of a defunct romance. The ancient alligator suitcase she' s delivering for her grandmother requires only a minor detour.


But then Jemima hits a patch of black ice on an unfamiliar Wisconsin road and collides with a telephone pole.


She wakes up in the hospital, to discover her overnight stay includes handcuffs and suspicion of smuggling illegal contraband...all because of the pesky antique alligator case. But that isn't the end of Jemima's Christmas detour.


When the arresting officer' s police station almost burns down, and then her elderly friend is attacked, and then thieves break in, the wretched suitcase is at the root of all chaos.


Her reputation, her winter coat and her romantic hopes are in tatters. Now even her life is threatened.


It' s all the alligator case' s fault...Or is it?
