A missing map. A dead appraiser. And one auction in Maplewood that was never about antiques.

When Hattie Calder arrives at the Anson estate auction with coffee in hand, the town is already buzzing over Lot 47 -- a rumored treasure map tied to an old local legend. Then the lights go out, the map vanishes, and the estate's cruel appraiser turns up dead in a records room.

Now Hattie is chasing more than gossip. Veda Anson is hiding family scandal, Stellan Anson is desperate for money, Corin Fossett had every reason to hate the victim, and historian Mirelle Dain seems to know more than she's saying. Even calm, polished attorney Verity Ells may be standing a little too close to the paperwork.

With Beans the cat uncovering clues and Liam tracking shady bidder records, Hattie starts to see the truth.

In Maplewood, treasure is the safest lie of all.
