Returning to the United States following a year-long sabbatical in England, Arliss Nolan wanted to replicate the contentment she found in village life. She bought an island cottage located on the lake north of Codington that seemed to mirror her desires. Back home, however, she saw how quickly she could revert to her old self. She was determined not to let that happen. All she wanted was peace for her sweet three-legged dog and herself.
Then came the body and the accidents. Enter newly promoted Captain Grace Greyson and her team. Oh, what a tangled web is weaved as the mystery unfolds.
