Back in the 1940s, those same Valentino Teardrops starred in a bizarre case of betrayal and murder. Jack Shepard, PI, may have been gunned down decades ago, but his memory hasn't been ghosted. And when the spirited Norma vanishes before her arrest, Pen turns to another spirit. Pen doesn't believe Norma is guilty of the crime-though the evidence is distressingly strong. Norma is accused of stealing jewels from a guest's room: the legendary Valentino Teardrops, an antique necklace and earring set, inherited by a young socialite. But it's Norma's other job, working as a housekeeper at the Finch Inn, that gets her into terrible trouble. Jovial, wise, and scrupulously honest, she's become an uplifting presence in the little town of Quindicott, Rhode Island, where bookseller Pen is thankful to have her part-time help.
