except for the recent murders.

One month after arriving in the Northwoods, former detective Jayne OShea has settled comfortably into small-town life and is making good progress with her task of getting her grandparents house ready for sale.

Then the shocking death of one of the carnies rocks the community, and the villagers look to Jayne for help, placing her in an impossible middle ground of not wanting to get involved and needing to ensure justice is served.

When a second carney turns up dead, and the newly hired sheriff--more concerned with ticketing tourists than catching the killer--dismisses the death as an accident, Jayne has no choice but to step in.
