Puppy pals, superstar power, and a vindictive newspaper reporter...
The charity auction to raise money to provide companion dogs for senior citizens is a highlight of Belle Harbor's event calendar. With a collectible knife donated from her uncle's antique shop expected to receive top dollar, Tilly hopes they will set new records.
Before the auctioneer's first call for bids, he is found stabbed to death. The list of suspects is long enough to circle the block. And first in line is Tilly's uncle. With all clues pointing to her uncle, the Belle Harbor police chief must arrest his best friend for the murder of the auctioneer.
As Tilly races against time to save her uncle, she discovers petty jealousy, long hidden town secrets, and an anonymous donor that cracks the case wide open. Will her uncle go down for the crime and put a wrench in his plans to marry the love of his life? Or can Tilly do his bidding and win the day?
