The Appraiser, by R. Franklin James

The Appraiser, by R. Franklin James

Remy Loh Bishop carries an old newspaper clipping with headlines labeling her as an incompetent forensic technician forced to resign under a cloud of supposed evidence tampering.

Determined to prove her innocence, she secures a position as an appraiser for an auction house in the San Francisco Bay Area. Once a hobby, now a necessity, she is retained to appraise an antique in a former stately home, but she stumbles onto a dead body and once more faces being discredited as she becomes the prime suspect.

Remy can’t seem to catch her breath when she befriends an older woman who is looking for a family heirloom she thinks has been stolen by Remy’s employer. Remy agrees to assist the woman’s search as a distraction. But the diversion turns deadly as Remy finds herself in the middle of an investigation, or is she the target?

The Appraiser is book one in the Remy Loh Bishop Mystery series.
