A poisoned rival. A buried scheme. Murder on the town council agenda.

Claire came to Ashford Village for a fresh start.
She never dreamed she'd become a murder suspect.

At the Founders' Festival, Vanessa, her antique-shop rival, was found dead.
Poisoned... In public... Vanessa had enemies.
Claire had motive.

And in Ashford Village, Claire had already been tried -- and convicted -- in whispers.
The newcomer is always guilty.

With a Sheriff who was ready to say, "Case Closed", it was up to Claire to clear her name.
Too many suspects. The whole town council had everything to gain and everything to lose.

Was it the Sheriff's wife, who'd been overheard in a heated discussion. Was it the mysterious man who argued with Vanessa the night before she died? Was it the antique customer who accused her of cheating him?

Bureaucratic power plays turn lethal. Claire must discover what secrets carry a deadly price.
If she keeps digging, she won't just uncover the truth -- She'll disappear with it.
