Description: "Eugenia Swift is a young woman of singular sensibilities, a connoisseur of beauty ... and naturally inclined to tackle even the most difficult of tasks on her own. As the director of the Leabrook Glass Museum, she's been asked to travel to Frog Cove Island-an artists' haven near Seattle-to catalog an important collection of art glass belonging to the late Adam Daventry. But thanks to the 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."--Jacket.
