With Door County caught in the grip of a fierce winter storm, Sheriff Dave Cubiak agrees to do a simple favor for a friend of his wife he stops by to check in on an affluent widow with a questionable new suitor. His initial disquiet is easily dismisseduntil she is found dead the next morning in her home. Lying at the bottom of a flight of stairs, clutching a valuable bronze sculpture, she points her outstretched hand in the direction of a nearby, nondescript ring. The scene bears all the characteristics of an accidental fall, not unheard of for a person of her age, but something is not adding up. Later that week, an explosion in an ice fishing shack on the frozen bay leads to the discovery of another body, burned beyond recognition. Was this the widows missing handyman? Could the two deaths be related? With what has become a hallmark for books in the series, past and present collide as Cubiaks search for answers uncovers the sad legacy of loneliness and the disquieting links between wealth and poverty on the peninsula.
