The last thing Katie Bonner wanted was to become the manager of Artisans Alley. But when her business partner, Ezra Hilton, is found lying at the bottom of a staircase, bludgeoned to death, she has no choice. She has to admit, though, that murder is great for business. A collection of booths for artisans and craft sellers in a renovated apple warehouse, Artisans Alley is the main attraction in the quaint Victoria Square shopping area. Business under Ezra had been faltering. But was that enough to provoke someone to kill him? Katie has had more than her share of death. Her late husband -- and Ezra's former partner -- died in a car accident six months ago. As Katie digs deeper into Ezra's murder, her husband's death begins to seem suspicious to her. And while the cops are running their investigation by the book, Katie is running hers by the booth -- because more and more, it appears the killer's identity is buried somewhere in Artisans Alley.
