by Gracie Gann

Genres: Mystery; Culinary Cozy Mysteries

Synopsis

A historic quilt. A missing friend. And a truth someone tried to bury forever.

Quilt-shop owner Alex Allin finds comfort in fabric, friendship, and faith—but when a quilt tied to World War II resistance history resurfaces in Paris, her carefully ordered world begins to unravel.

The mystery turns personal when journalist Justin Case, trusted friend and quiet constant in Alex’s life, disappears while following the quilt’s trail, leaving behind troubling questions no one else seems eager to answer. Guided by prayer, courage, and a belief that truth matters, Alex refuses to let his story—or history itself—be silenced.

Joined by her best friend Juniper, the ever-opinionated Granny Squad, and two lovable Cavapoos, Saedie and Buddy, Alex follows a path stitched with half-truths and long-buried secrets. An elegant auctioneer—and a shadowy figure determined to rewrite history—will do anything to keep the truth buried.

As past and present collide, Alex must uncover the truth in time to bring her friend home—and protect the truth he was trying to save.

Perfect for readers who enjoy faith-centered cozy mysteries with history, heart, gentle suspense, and loyal dogs. Includes a bonus recipe and a Parisian-inspired quilt pattern.
