The body of Lynelle Hames, a quiet young woman newly arrived in Hampstead, Kansas, has been found near the isolated old house where she was living.  Susan herself is a recent arrival in the small town.  A former San Francisco cop, she chose to stay on as chief after solving the murder of her new husband one year before (\u003ci\u003eThe Winter Widow\u003c\/i\u003e, SMP, 1992).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith cold determination, Susan begins her investigation, but matters are soon complicated by the disappearance of a prominent citizen.  As the vice-chancellor of Emerson College, Hilary Kalazar knew Lynnelle, who worked as a clerk-typist at the local school.
