Don't Look Down

"Smith's romantic mystery series gets off to a fast start, when young divorcee, Mandy Basch, returns home late one night to find her house ransacked and her beloved dog Ringo brutally beaten. Desperate to save Ringo's life, she rushes to the one person she knows will help--her womanizing, thrill-seeking ex-husband, Gary, whom she divorced four years before. The predicament worsens as it becomes apparent that Mandy has something someone desperately wants, something willing to kill for. Old marital wounds are forgotten when the two discover that Mandy has the key to a million-dollar ancient treasure and that she and Gary are in grave danger. Smith delivers a suspenseful page-turner spiced with feisty characters, satirical dialogue and a shrewdly deceptive finale that pulls it all together."--"Publisher's Weekly
