Eugenia Swift is a young woman of singular sensibilities, a
connoisseur of beauty...and naturally inclined to tackle even the
most difficult tasks on her own. As the director of the Leabrook
Glass Museum, she's been asked to travel to Frog Cove Island--an
artistic haven near Seattle--to catalog an important collection of
art glass belonging to the late Adams Daventry. But thanks to
unsavory rumors surrounding Daventry's death, the museum insists
that Eugenia take along Cyrus Chandler Colfax--a rough-hewn private
investigator whose taste in glass runs to icy cold bottles filled
with beer.
When Colfax declares they must pose as a couple, Eugenia
protests in terms as loud as his Hawaiian shirts. She's loath to
disclose the secret purpose of her trip: investigating the
disappearance of her good friend Nellie Grant...the late Adam
Daventry's lover. Meanwhile, the green-eyed calm of Colfax's gaze
shields his own hidden agenda--locating a priceless Daventry
treasure that will help him avenge an old wrong.
While Eugenia has always kept her heart on a shelf, their very
lives soon depend on making an utterly convincing couple. Because
among the chic galleries of Frog Cove Island lurks a killer, and
their only chance for survival is the boldest, most artful
collaboration they can dare to imagine.
At once a fascinating look at today's avant-garde art world and
a scintillating adventure, "Sharp Edges" hums with the energy of a
couple who bring to mind a thoroughly modern Bogart and Bacall. Add
deft displays of wit and a wicked twist, and you've got another
winner from Jayne Ann Krentz!
