The Lantern Walk was meant to be the highlight of the season until a body is found beneath the gazebo.
Glen Cameron ruled the town and the Garden Lantern Festival with quiet control and plenty of enemies. Now he’s dead, supposedly killed with the same plant stakes used in every festival display. To Sara, it feels staged.
As she investigates with her dog Butch, Sara uncovers a web of blackmail: Lyle, a city official under pressure, Tom, a vendor forced into silence, livelihoods manipulated behind the scenes.
But nothing adds up. Timelines don’t match. A phone is missing. And who had Glen been meeting the night he died?
Someone planned this carefully and they’re still watching.
Sara must uncover the truth before the festival ends… or risk her and her family going up in flames.
