Fixer Upper: A Jessie Houz Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798277147269)

A Jessie Houz Mystery

When seasoned real-estate agent Jessie Houz arrives at a dilapidated Sacramento property, she expects peeling paint-not a frightened elderly seller slipping her a desperate note:
"Help. He's lying."

The too-good-to-be-true offer on the house belongs to Alexi Petrov, a charming "investor" with ties to a dangerous web of forged documents, fake permits, secret accounts, and swindled senior homeowners. Soon, Jessie and her glamorous partner Laura Milne team up with escrow expert Nicole O'Sullivan and the ever-skeptical Deputy Chief DD Walters to expose a real-estate scam that reaches deep into City Hall.

What begins as a suspicious sale spirals into midnight break-ins, hidden tunnels, dirty money, corrupt officials, and a showdown on the Sacramento River. With every clue they uncover, the stakes climb-and their enemy grows more desperate.

When the dust settles and justice is served, Jessie receives a final warning:

"The next deal is deadly... See you soon."

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with humor, heart, and high-stakes twists, Fixer Upper proves that in real estate, every home has a story-and some secrets refuse to stay buried.
