When a Friendly Reunion Brings Out the WorstTansy Stidham arrives in her small-town home looking for a new direction.Or maybe just a chance to clear her head.When she runs headlong into Cat Maybell, Tansy jumps from tired to tempted.Because a museum full of bluegrass memorabilia seems ripe for the picking.Putting both of them on the road directly into their most dangerous tendencies.Will Tansy and Cat survive their own plots and schemes, or will they team up to blow up their futures?Find out in this twisty, unpredictable tale of bad intentions and questionable choices. An excerpt from The Great Gold Record Heist: Swept Along in a River Full of Bad IdeasTansy closed her eyes for a second, running down the reasons this was not good enough, not one bit of it.She was trying to keep her fool self out of trouble, not rush headlong into it.Of all the rotten choices she'd made in a life too full of them, crossing the line into thieving was one mistake she'd never dared.She'd hoped to stay put for a while in a place she knew well and try to catch her breath, not get caught up in some kind of harebrained caper and end up moving on in a hurry. Again.And still...Tansy wouldn't have to be the one doing the actual stealing, not with Cat already raring to go. And it wasn't like anyone would see them-or even hear them-if Tansy did the bang job right and Cat did her share and whipped up a nice distraction. And she knew they both would.Her brain was already lit up like the Fourth of July with ideas of how to do all that and more.

"Can't say I've traveled all that much since I passed over, not that I ever thought I could until you and Mark took up together. But I can't work out what the trouble is."He paused, and Clina's ghost jumped in sharp as a razor."Best tell her what you been carrying on to me about, Walt. If it's so all-fired important as you say, get it out so they might can do something about it."Wisps of fear curled through Beth's belly and heart."I don't want to worry you, now," Mark's Papaw said. "All this is so new to me I might be mistaken, hear? But I got to tell you if feels to me like Mark is caught up in all this somehow.""All this?" Beth said. "You mean the town itself? Or the way people won't look at each other? I don't understand.""Yeah, I was afraid of that. It's more like...some of the trouble is pointing toward him. Or maybe he can serve some kind of a purpose. I sure am sorry, Beth. I can't work it out any better."Beth's own words about the two of them getting a break from all the excitement of the last few months soured and curdled in her memory.
