Janet Markham doesn’t like coincidences. When she and her sister Joan spend a day running errands and she keeps seeing the same man over and over again, it worries her. When that same man nearly dies of a drug overdose that evening, Janet is even more concerned.
Another day, another man who keeps crossing Janet’s path, and then another drug overdose worry her even more. Is someone in Doveby Dale, the village the sisters call home, dealing in drugs? There are some new arrivals in the village and in neighbouring Little Burton. Maybe one of them is the culprit.
Can Janet help the local police constable, Robert Parsons, work out who’s behind the overdoses? Will Joan be able to help or is she too distracted by wedding plans to pay attention? How angry will Edward Bennett, the man in (and out) of Janet’s life, be if she gets tangled up in another police investigation? This one feels a good deal more dangerous than most. Can Janet stay safe or will her nosiness put her into real danger this time?
