When she discovers that her dear friend Kate Bosworth has been strangled by a vintage scarf, Mandy has a real mess on her hands. Days earlier, Kate had brought an antique gown into Dyer's for a cleaning. The dress was a 1920s Fortuny that Kate claimed was worth thousands, but she'd gotten for a steal-and it may have cost Kate her life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e No stranger to digging up dirt, Mandy begins searching flea markets and garage sales, trying to track down someone who might have a claim to the gown-someone who would kill to get it back. With the police on the trail too-and her new boyfriend Det. Stan Foster determined to keep her out of it-Mandy makes sure to leave no trace behind in a case that draws her closer and closer to some pretty dirty laundry-and a murderer's rage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Dolores Johnson and the Mandy Dyer Mysteries\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Delightful.
