There’s a dead man in her boss’s trunk. The police call it evidence. Mallory Harper calls it a setup.
When a foul smell and the town drunk, Eddie Mercer, turn a dog-costume festival into a crime scene, Mallory and her tenacious terrier, Pickles, start digging.
Literally.
With best friend Nancy running small-town reconnaissance, the trio follows a trail of old photographs into a summer nobody in Willow Creek wants to remember.
Eddie's estranged wife, who loudly promised half the town she'd kill him herself, looks guilty enough. So does the salvage yard owner who publicly threatened Eddie days before his death. And polished Caroline Dane whispers warnings that sound less like comfort and more like confession.
As Mallory digs deeper, it becomes clear someone will do anything to keep the past buried.
If she can't uncover the truth before the killer strikes again, an innocent man could lose everything and Mallory won't be around to care.
