Half-truths and lies… It’s what a lawyer’s life is made of.

Nicole Fitzhenry-Dawes-Cavanaugh has her hands full preparing for the birth of her baby and setting up to show movies on the weekends in her maple syrup bush. Tourist season has come to Fair Haven.

But when an opportunity arises to represent a client who insists he’s innocent, she can’t turn it down. It might be her last chance before the baby is born. And it’s a puzzle.

Based on the evidence, the woman’s death couldn’t have been natural causes, an accident, a suicide, or a murder. What’s left?

As Nicole digs into the case, it ends up not being the only mystery she has to solve, either. The people closest to her are doing something behind her back…
