A missing hammer. A botched ceremony. A murder that hammers Maggie right into the heart of Cedarvale’s latest scandal.
Jewelry maker Maggie Bellamy just wanted to design a pretty collection for the town’s train depot relaunch — not stumble into a missing artifact mystery. But when the ceremonial hammer disappears on the eve of its big debut, and tensions rise among the restoration crew, Maggie’s sharp eye and magical instincts tell her something bigger is brewing.
With her snarky cat Pippa, loyal dog Topaz, and a circle of suspiciously secretive locals, Maggie’s soon chasing clues through workshops, back rooms, and old rivalries. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: someone’s playing a dangerous game of history and deception — and if Maggie’s not careful, she might end up the next victim on the list.
