If Eve Iverson hadn't spotted her stolen painting hanging on the wall in one of Sunshine Valley's most popular restaurants, she and her husband, Adam, would never have discovered the dead body of the restaurant's owner. Suddenly, the couple find themselves enmeshed in a web of chaos and intrigue, where they become key figures in a widespread homicide investigation. Although she is able to pursue her increasingly successful art career, Eve must also face the fact that everyone she meets appears to have had a motive and the opportunity to commit murder. As the suspense increases, the Iversons come to realize that all is not what it appears to be in this seemingly tranquil oasis in the desert--including the people who live there. Will the Iversons be able to working together to identify the person responsible for the CORPSE IN THE CACTUS?
