When freshman year at the University of Alabama draws to a close, Sara Donovan finds herself grappling with the same old question—listen to her head or follow her heart. What she ends up doing is purchasing an Egyptian
souvenir funerary mask, and after a mysterious phone call, she's certain a ring of antiquities smugglers are operating in Tuscaloosa.
With finals never far from her mind and her return to 'Bama hanging in the balance, she should be studying. Instead she launches her own investigation to prove her mask is indeed a stolen artifact, and not a cheap trinket. When it comes time to snoop, Sara is more than ready, or at least she was until a hot new teaching assistant moves in next door.
Suddenly she learns things are never as they seem. Ever.
Excerpt
With
the sudden onslaught
of authority blasting my senses, I jolted upward
and
fell into the rack of cute blouses. My hand lost its grip on the
huge cup. The other hand instinctively
shot out to catch the falling soda, at the same
time ejecting my phone deep into clothes-rack oblivion. An unhealthy, protracted clatter indicated
the landing didn’t go too
well. I caught my
balance halfway into the colorful summer collection of what appeared to be
very fun tops. At least I saved
the soda from making me the proud owner of a
complete summer collection of stained fashion wear.
I nonchalantly edged my body around, fighting off multiple tendrils of fabric
clutching and grabbing at my head and shoulders. I popped my head out of
the
blouses, and after
clearing disheveled hair from my
eyes, was confronted
with the no-nonsense visage of—a mall cop. On a motorized
two-wheeled
scooter.
From within my
inner sanctum of the clothes rack, I laid on him all
the
cool innocence
and southern sweetness I could muster. “No, but thank you for
asking. Everything is okay, officer.”
