Everyone’s favorite grandmother, Brighamina Poulson, has high hopes of buying a wet suit and learning to surf when her and Alex’s newest case takes them to Huntington Beach, California.  However, before she can do so, she and her would-be swain, the punctilious Richard Grinnell fall afoul of the law in Orange County!  The consequences are mind-boggling to Alex and everyone who knows them.

If you’ve never read the Alex and Briggie mysteries, The Hidden Branch, is a fine one to start with!  As one of my readers said, "Everyone needs a Briggie in their life." 

And, if you buy this on line (it’s available for pre-order at Deseretbook.com) or in the stores on or prior to September 17th you will get a gift package of Alex and Briggie memorabilia from me!  Not only that–you will be entered in the drawing for the entire series of A & B mysteries–Cankered Roots, Of Deadly Descent, Tangled Roots, and Poisoned Pedigree–plus a Kansas City Royal’s t-shirt (Briggie’s favorite choice of day and night wear).  Even if you already possess these, think what a splendid Christmas gift they would make for your mother-in-law!  (She would be especially charmed by the t-shirt)
