Retired detective Candice Holladay’s life in tranquil East Black Oak is turned upside down when her dog Chowder discovers a body.

Chowder is relentless, pulling Candice into the woods behind a nearby rest area until they encounter a corpse.

The victim, a local eccentric recently reported missing, is only the beginning of a dark and tangled mystery.

When two more bodies are discovered in shallow graves, all signs point to a deadly secret buried in the town’s past.

Joined by her amateur sleuth friend Gracie, the Chief’s daughter Lucy, and investigative reporter Christopher, Candice is determined to solve the mystery.

With no obvious cause of death and rumors swirling of a lethal poison used by terrorists, suspicion turns to a local figure with sinister connections to the victims.

As the investigation heats up and tensions rise, Candice’s beloved bookstore is vandalized.

An attempted kidnapping of Gracie and Lucy is narrowly foiled by Chowder.

Danger closes in and Candice must uncover the truth before she becomes the next victim.
