The Antiquities Hunter

P. I. Gina “Tinkerbell” Miyoko, armed with a baby blue Magnum, a Harley blessed with holy water by her dramatically disposed mother, and a Japanese mingei tucked in her pocket (a good luck charm from her Sherlock-obsessed father), spends her time sniffing out delinquent dads in San Francisco and honing her detective skills.But when her best friend Rose, an undercover agent, discovers a stalker on her tail, she hires Tink as a bodyguard. Someone must be trying to intimidate Rose and scare her out of testifying in an upcoming case on looted Mayan artifacts. But when Tink tries to flush-out the stalker, things take a far more dangerous turn, and she finds herself taking her best friend’s place to follow the looters’ trail to Cancun.Deep in the jungle and far from civilization, Tink must decide who she can trust as she tries to unearth the ones responsible behind the pilfering and bloodshed—and still make it out alive.
