Nestled at the foot of Pine Mountain, Rose Hill has one traffic light, one
patrol car, and one cold-blooded killer on the loose. When rich and rotten
Theo Eldridge is found murdered in the local veterinary clinic, Rose Hill
police chief Scott Gordon is forced to work with county investigator
Sarah Albright. She is more interested in seducing him than in solving
the crime.
Complicating matters are a missing eyewitness, a town full of busybodies
who keep poking their noses (among other parts) in places they shouldn’t,
and enough arson, graft, and blackmail to supply motives to a dozen
suspects.
Scott is convinced that bookstore owner Maggie Fitzpatrick is the woman
for him, but she is still grieving over the mysterious disappearance of the
love of her life. Nevertheless, Maggie and her best friend Hannah, the
local dog catcher, are determined to help Scott solve the crime.
As Scott and Maggie attempt to untangle the sticky web of Theo’s shady
business dealings, they uncover some dark family secrets that may
connect Theo’s murder to another committed twenty years before.
