When Marty is hired to do an appraisal at a storage unit and the residence of the wife of a Palm Springs detective, she has no reason to think that there would be a problem. The appraisal looked pretty run-of-mill with its small antique items and furniture, but that was before Marty discovered that all of the antiques had been stolen. And then several hours later her friend, Carl, who was appraising the antique books at the client’s residence, found the note. The note that caused an all-points bulletin to be issued for a man who was about to be murdered.
