About this item
Dane Hunter is having the worst first day on the job ever as Camden Grove's new police chief. His first call leads him to the massive Myrtle Hill Plantation, where he faces the corpse of Ethel Chapman Bowman, a sixty-two-year-old widow and mother of a South Carolina senator and gubernatorial candidate. The back of her head is splattered all over the wall behind her, and a thirty-eight-caliber revolver is in her limp hand. The scene screams suicide, and would probably be a classic open-and-shut case but for the seventy-eight-year-old housekeeper, Isabelle Ricks, who adamantly states there is no way Ethel would or could kill herself. Dane must juggle his newly-repaired marriage while navigating small-town relationships. He's aided by five local women with paranormal psychic and healing gifts.
