Emma Lord is shocked to hear that the Advocate is embroiled in a ruthless takeover bid. Soon, battle lines are drawn and war is declared. Then the first casualty is discovered facedown at the Tall Timber Motel. The victim is Dylan Platte, front man for the buy-out offer Emma turned down cold. Naturally, Emma is a prime suspect. Then it turns out that the dead man has a big surprise for the living-one that involves the glamorous Ginger Roth, a bodacious Alpine newbie who can perform the dumb blonde act in her sleep. Emma's ever-inquisitive House & Home editor, Vida Runkel, plumbs her extensive grapevine, from the Burger Barn to the Venison Inn, determined to connect the dots. But when an Advocate insider is next to take a bullet, Emma and the rest of the Alpiners make it their mission to find a killer.

Industry Reviews

"Murder and mayhem once again rock the placid town of Alpine. . . . An intriguing plot and the unusual cast of lovable characters make this another winner."--Publishers Weekly "Emma is a principled, caring character and an engaging narrator, and her account of the trials of running a small newspaper provides a fascinating frame."--Booklist

"Daheim's small-town characters are a mix of smart, conniving, lecherous, clumsy, [and] wisecracking."--San Antonio Express-News
