Description

When the physician of Millers Kill’s free clinic disappears, suspicion quickly falls on a volatile single mother with a possible grudge—but Reverend Clare Fergusson is not convinced the case is so simple. As Clare and Sheriff Russ Van Alstyne investigate, they uncover a decades-old mystery dating back to the town’s Prohibition-era struggles and a trail of secrets that still threatens the present. Set against the vividly rendered early spring landscape of the Adirondacks, the novel blends police procedural tension with small-town intimacy, exploring buried history, loyalty, and the complicated attraction between its two investigators. Richly atmospheric and finely drawn, it is a deeply textured installment in an acclaimed mystery series.
