Synopsis

A clever canine. A vanished friend. A secret someone would kill to keep buried.

A wholesome, Christian quilting cozy mystery where prayer, grace, and one very determined Cavapoo lead the way.

Perfect for readers who love inspirational cozy mysteries with Christian values, clean romance, and armchair travel to exotic places.

When a centuries-old ornate box appears in Alex Allin's Colorado quilt shop, it carries more than curiosity — it carries a mystery stretching across generations. A cryptic quilted pattern tucked inside leads straight to Istanbul. Reluctant but determined, Alex follows the thread, never expecting the puzzle to turn deadly.

When her best friend Juniper is abducted, the mystery becomes personal. Enter Saedie — Alex's snack-obsessed, endlessly optimistic Cavapoo — who proves that the best investigators have four legs and excellent instincts. Alongside a flirtatious journalist and the gloriously unstoppable Granny Squad , Alex is plunged into the labyrinth of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, where suspects weave tales as intricate as a Turkish rug. Everyone has something to hide. And someone wants Alex to stop asking questions.

Time is running out. If Alex and her companions can't stitch the clues together, they might lose more than the mystery — they might lose Juniper forever.
