Publisher's Synopsis
One waterfront property for auction and three buyers - then someone narrows the odds.
Until the morning Garrett Bishop is murdered, Grace Reagan only has to worry about the house she can't sell and a business sliding into bankruptcy. She has four months left on her agreement to manage Cyrus Mosley's law firm, a plan that sounded easy enough in September when the weather was warm, and she was optimistic. But Grace barely has time to regret the decision she's made before the man who can guarantee her success is killed.
Was the flamboyant, loud-mouthed Bishop shot by a hunter with bad aim - or by one of the many people who want him gone from Kingston County and don't care how he leaves? Grace knows that in some parts of the Eastern Shore, strangers are guilty until proven otherwise. A near stranger herself, she must prove not one, but two of her clients are innocent of murder.Welcome to Mallard Bay, Maryland, the little village where everyone has an opinion, but the truth is in short supply.
