"When Sadie Speers meets Roscoe and Roz at their hardware store, the three are shocked to discover a set of muddy footprints inside the shop that have no apparent origin. There's no sign of a break-in, though some tools are missing. But later, when Roscoe's antique hand-carved chess set also vanishes, Sadie begins to wonder if the Solomons, an old Silver Peak family, might somehow be involved -- especially when a young woman arrives in town to claim her inheritance of their historic home. But how are they entering the shop? And what is the connection between the business and the house? As Sadie delves into these questions, they lead her to the underbelly of the town's past involving bootleggers, an unsolved murder, and Colorado's notorious Mountain Mafia."--Page 4 of cover.
