Auraria Dead is Melody Scott's first published novel, and it tells a suspenseful and romantic tale of secrets, conspiracy, and murder, that ranges from Arizona to the hills of northwest Georgia.
Realtor Maria Sebastian is struggling to deal with a lull in the economy, an unwilling partner she's not sure she can trust, and a crazy cousin. She doesn't need the complication of finding an abandoned mine on the property she's trying to sell... nor a skeletonized corpse in the mine. Never mind that the man she think she loves is hiding things from her, and her own father may be someone totally different from the man she thought she knew!
What could be worse?Don't ask!
