She retreats to the peace and quiet of Pondering Station to write her next best-selling thriller. Instead, she's plagued by hardware glitches, burglars who don't steal, a busy-body and her dog, daily annoyance calls from her agent, and two fishermen who worked with her late husband. Not to mention, a body in the lake.Jack Dawson was sent in undercover to expose an embezzler at the company where Steve Fuller worked. He's getting close to an arrest when the man dies.

Two people are killed, the manager of the campground is found bloody and unconscious, and Casey has a couple of close calls-one almost fatal.
