The medicine was supposed to make her better.

Ferd's best friend Anna came home from looking for the family she lost. Instead, she discovered they had already mourned her.

Years after her disappearance, Anna finally returns from India and finds the people she once called home. They’re overjoyed to learn she’s alive, but life didn't stop while she was gone. Her family has grieved, healed, and moved forward without her.

With nowhere else that feels like hers, Anna returns to Wayside Ranch.

For Ferd Kincade, watching her closest friend struggle with the same question that has haunted her hits a little too close to home. Where do I belong when the place I thought was home no longer fits?

But Anna has brought back more than heartache. Persistent headaches become increasingly severe, and the over-the-counter medication that once offered relief seems to help less and less. When Anna's condition suddenly deteriorates, she lands in a Cheyenne hospital.

Ferd is worried. Her friend is strong and healthy.

Then another resident of Piper's Ridge arrives with the same mysterious symptoms.

One sick person could be coincidence.

Two makes Ferd suspicious.

Duke isn't convinced there's a crime to investigate, and Ferd doesn't have a badge—or a department—to back her up. But she's learned to trust her instincts, especially with people she cares about.

Someone in Piper's Ridge is making people dangerously sick.

And Ferd intends to find out who before someone takes the last dose.
