Human trafficking is the subject of this mystery/romance set on California’s spectacular Cypress Coast. 

Angelica McDowell is a struggling glass-blowing artist with a day job at the Monterey Aquarium. When she is offered a commission to design a major installation for a new resident of nearby Pebble Beach, the opportunity sounds too good to be true.

The action in this novel takes place up and down the coast from Monterey to Big Sur. While the story stands on its own merits, my enjoyment was greatly enhanced by Alison Henderson’s use of the Cypress Coast as the backdrop for this novel.…

From Phyllis' list on the setting woven into the story.
