Now Jonathan must leave his New York City apartment and return home to help sort out this latest mess. The small, peaceful village holds secrets that someone killed to protect. Jonathan navigates between his exasperation with Anna's meddling and his growing concern as the investigation deepens. The case forces him to confront the violence lurking beneath Felicity Grove's tranquil surface while dealing with his sharp-tongued, endlessly curious grandmother who refuses to stay out of harm's way.
