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.
