"When Savannah resident Muriel Robertson discovers a priceless pearl necklace hidden in the trunk of an old live oak on her property, she hires the team at Magnolia Investigations to discover how it got there. The bigger question is, who is the rightful owner? With Maggie Lu's assistance, Julia and Meredith find themselves following a cold but historic trail that leads back to the Revolutionary War and a bitter rivalry between two cousins--one a Tory loyal to the King of England and the other a colonist committed to the cause of liberty. While Julia and Meredith accumulate clues, their investigation is complicated by an attempted break-in at the agency office and Muriel's temperamental brother. And who is that suspicious man lurking in the back booth at the Downhome Diner? Charlene is worried. So is Julia. Can they put all the puzzle pieces together before someone gets hurt?" Guideposts.org
