    Historical Mystery Meets Modern Investigation

    When high school English teacher Maisie Meadows discovers a mysterious medallion with roots stretching back to 1923, she unleashes a small-town mystery that someone will kill to keep buried.

    One part literary detective, one part reluctant hero, Maisie—alongside her corgi Waffles, the most adorable four-legged investigator in Niceville—finds herself tangled in a web of generational secrets that threaten to unravel everything the town thought it knew.

    From cryptic warnings left on her doorstep to shadowy figures lurking at high school football games, Maisie must navigate a dangerous game of cat and mouse. With each clue, she inches closer to a truth that powerful people will do anything to suppress.

    Her weapons? A razor-sharp wit, an English teacher's attention to detail, and a corgi with an uncanny nose for trouble.

    What Readers Are Saying:
    • "Waffles is the canine detective we didn't know we needed!"

      "Maisie Meadows is the most hilarious amateur sleuth since Jessica Fletcher"

      "I can't decide what's more entertaining—the mystery or the one-liners"

      A laugh-out-loud adventure proving that in Niceville, nothing stays buried forever—especially not with a corgi on the case!
