AKRON, Ohio, April 25, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Join fans of Police Detective Jo Ferris as Xlibris releases Final Bid, the fourth adventure in the crime fiction series by Kathleen M. Fraze.
Final Bid sets the stage with the perfect day for a small-town auction. The weather is sunny, the bidding is low, and the ruby red vase on the auction block is flawless. Jo, whose newest hobby is buying antique glass, figures the vase would be a steal. She just doesn't count on the skeleton in the closet. Or the very recently murdered antiques dealer in the basement. Now Jo must dig back through more than 30 years of secrets to unmask one killer, while following the fresh tracks of another.
To solve both crimes, add Final Bid to your bookshelf, along with Final Straw, Final Exam and Final Breath, all previously published by Xlibris.
