Great Bones: A Jessie Houz Mystery
A key in a door opens a city of secrets.
When quirky real estate agent Jessie Houz agrees to get her latest listing on the market, she expects peeling paint and stubborn locks—not a will that pits siblings against each other, a biker gang camped at the curb, and a ledger that suggests the quiet old man knew far too much. With listings to win, lock picks in her pocket, and danger suddenly everywhere, Jessie teams up with her razor-sharp client, Michelle, to follow a paper trail that winds from storage units and salvage yards to council chambers and midnight marinas.
Every clue prices out a different kind of cash-only flips, shell buyers, and a town where favors appraise higher than law. As threats close in, Jessie and Michelle must outtalk city hall, outmaneuver men who mistake fear for leverage, and decide how much they’re willing to risk to close the one deal that the truth.
Fast, witty, and full of hair-pin turns, Great Bones is an explosive thriller about secrets and the cost of cleaning up a legacy—where every house has history, every neighborhood has a gatekeeper, and the next door Jessie opens might be her last. Perfect for fans of twisty small-town suspense and heroines who refuse to back down.
