Will a luggage mix-up ruin Sterling's fun in the tropical sun?

Sterling Towne decided to take a last-minute vacation to a sunny paradise to cheer herself up after her divorce. When the airline misplaces her luggage, she thinks it's just a typical airline snafu until she gets the wrong luggage returned to her. The suitcase belongs to someone who thought it was a good idea to transport a gold Buddha statue via commercial airlines in a checked bag.

Sterling turns the statue into hotel security for safe keeping, but then her room is ransacked. She’s also pretty sure there was someone following her in town. Does the owner of the statue think she still has it? But if so, why not just ask? She’s getting nervous, and even her new friend, Steve, thinks she might be in danger.

Is she? Or is her imagination just working overtime?
