'I did have hallucinations, but did they harm anyone? Who did they harm, that's what I'd like to know!'

When Annie Dawson finds a necklace, earrings and a matching hair comb in the attic of Grey Gables, her Victorian-style home in Stony Point, Maine, she doesn’t realize the chain of events waiting to be unleashed. Why are so many people—from the ocean scientists studying Stony Point’s fishing industry to a rich, young philanthropist to Annie’s best friend’s ex-husband—so fascinated by the jewelry? Annie and her friends in the Hook and Needle Club are preparing for the social event of the year, a masquerade ball hosted by the Stony Point Historical Society. Annie and her friends Alice MacFarlane and Peggy Carson search in the expansive attic of Grey Gables to find gowns and accessories for the ball, and there they discover an antique set of faux-emerald jewelry. The set is the perfect complement to Annie’s own gown, but little does she know where the discovery will lead her and her friends. It all seems innocent at first. Then, someone snatches the decorative comb from Annie’s hair during a brief blackout at the ball. Is someone masquerading as a thief—or worse? The mystery deepens when Annie returns home after the ball and discovers Grey Gables has been ransacked. Annie, Alice and Ian Butler, the mayor of Stony Point and Annie’s date for the ball, set a trap sure to lure the thief out of the shadows. But who will they catch? Join Annie, Ian and the crafty members of the Hook and Needle Club as they search for the answers to this latest mystery straight from Annie’s Attic!
