The Curious Eat Themselves (Cecil Younger Series #2)

A woman hires Cecil Younger to investigate a sexual assault that she insists took place at an isolated mining site where she worked as a cook. It might have remained a straightforward case of assault if she had not also been probing the environmental safeguards of the gold-mining operation and if, subsequently, she had not been found dead in the estuarial waters of Ketchikan township, Alaska.
