Jill Breck was just doing her job as a river guide when she saved the life span of Lane Faroe, boy of two of St. Kilda Consulting’s leading operators. However when a string of ominous events-including a mysterious open fire that kills her great-aunt and a furor in the Traditional western art world elevated by twelve Breck family members paintings-culminates in a threat to her existence, Jill reluctantly calls in a favor.

Zach Balfour works part-time being a specialist for St. Kilda. His knowledge can be gathering and analyzing details about Blue Smoke and Murder from improbable and often harmful resources. Though he’s got the skills to be a highly effective bodyguard, being truly a bullet catcher isn’t his favored way to spend time.

Protecting Jill will need him into familiar territory-among a strange, savagely competitive bunch of collectors who’ll do anything to stay at the top. But Jill is in deeper waters than she’s ever known; as she shortly discovers, the perils of working wild rivers are tame weighed against the hidden hazards in the high-stakes video game of art collecting.

Through the cozy rooms from the Breck homestead cabin towards the cold multimillion-dollar galleries from the Western art circuit, Zach and Jill need to race against time for you to unmask a ruthless killer hidden inside a blue smoke of money, threats, lies, and death . .
