Oak and Dagger (Large Print)

Description

When it comes to gardening, Cassandra Casey Calhoun isnt afraid to get her hands dirty. But when it comes to murder, shes not the kind of gal to let any killer get away clean... Despite cooler fall temperatures in Washington, D.C., tempers flare at the White House when important historical documents go missing from the curators office and the gardeners are blamed. As if that isnt bad enough, Casey has started receiving death threats, the presidents pooch is digging unsightly holes all over the South Lawn, and the curator has been found dead. All evidence for the murder points to Gordon Sims, the chief gardener. His fingerprints are on the murder weapon, and witnesses saw him arguing with the curator shortly before her death. With the help of Special Agent Jack Turner, her reluctant sidekick and new flame, Casey works to clear Gordons name. Along the way she finds herself in a deadly race against time to discover if theres a link between the stolen papers, the dogs holes in the South Lawn, and a rumored two-hundred-year-old treasure--before the killer strikes again...
