Figure Eight. Yard-Sale Karma (Val Fremden Mystery 8)

Old habits die hard. But old lounge chairs die harder.

Val can't solve all the world's problems, so she's settled on two: smashing every tacky figurines on the planet…and ridding the universe of her boyfriend's hideous Barcalounger.

During the neighborhood yard sale, the fate of Tom's beloved chair comes down to a wager. But what Val herself puts up as an ante proves hard to live without, and soon has her wrestling with the demons she keeps locked in her closet – both literally and figuratively.

With an old nemesis breathing down her back and an old friend missing in action, Val soon finds herself jonesing for more than justice.

Who'll win the bet? Who'll lose? And who in the world is Sir Albert Snoggles, III?

Come along for the ride as Val's "Hammer of Justice" lays waste to atrocities of both the ceramic and non-ceramic kind, and the gang learns that when you mess around with Karma, just who ends up dealing the final blow is anybody's guess.

If you like wacky, deeply flawed characters and laugh-out-loud situations, you'll love Figure Eight! It's the eighth book in Margaret Lashley's hilarious Val Fremden Mystery Series.
