For the first month in a decade, retired Treasury agent June Faust’s fixer-upper mansion, converted to an inn, isn’t causing her any headaches. Her staff is perfect, her guests are lovely, and the weather is fine just before two hurricanes – a Cat-1 and a suspicious death – hit Moorewicks Bay at the same time.

Widowed in her twenties, June hasn’t lost anyone close to her in decades until a newcomer to Moorewicks Bay falls ill and dies only weeks after moving to town. His widow says he was targeted. His cousin says he was murdered. His toxicology results say he was poisoned. June has no choice but to reluctantly slip on her old gumshoes without so much as a “who,” “what,” “where,” or even a “when.”

Everyone’s looking to June to solve Sam’s death and for a change, the townsfolk are talking, helpful, and honest. Even her fiancé, Ramone Delgatto, throws in with her – just a bit too enthusiastically. However, now she’s got too many clues. As the suspects, motives, and methods tick off her list, she dreads the final answer to who killed Sam Cross because the last remaining culprit is the worst possible villain and time is not on her side.
