In the 8th Sarah Booth Delaney mystery, from St. Martin's Minotaur, the Mississippi Delta private investigator finds herself in the middle of one of the most intriguing cases of her career.
 
Sarah Booth finally has a real shot at her dream to be an actress, but the re-make of  Body Heat, which she stars in with Graf Mileau, runs into trouble before the production can even leave for location.
A wildfire, a dead actress, and strange happenings in a beautiful Costa Rican mansion with a past haunted by tragedy put the film--and the crew--
in jeopardy.
 
Battling homesickness, Sarah Booth confronts the ultimate cost of her dream and the value of home and friends...
 
Wishbones is filled with loyal friendships, Southern foods, "daddy's girl" logic, canine companions, ghosts, murder, and romance with humor interspersed throughout.

Spanning more than five decades, these essays give us a glimpse of the people and places that nurtured these outstanding individuals and their remarkable gifts.
