The Mud Peddler

Life begins to get off center for Celina Cabot who, while dealing with normal life upheavals such as moving into a new home, opening a new gallery, and dumping a sticky boyfriend, finds herself suspected of embezzlement and murder.
When her ex-boss' body is discovered in a make-shift coffin under a pile of pippins, all fingers point in her direction. After all, Celina had threatened him the day he disappeared and only she had access to the missing money. How else could she afford her new venture?

Celina has to stay ahead of a sleazy deputy who wants her and a homicide detective who wants her behind bars. Even an overly-attentive P.I. has her under surveillance.

Forced to find the greedy killer herself, Celina must find answers to unknown questions. Along the way she learns more than she ever wanted to know about her dunted ex-coworkers, her ex-boss'
bizarre life, and herself.

After being stalked, shot at, and pushed down an elevator shaft, Celina, wearing nothing but a hospital gown and torn jeans, races to stop the crazed lunatic before another victim ends up buried in a bin full of apples.
