A cryptic clue etched into old silver serving dishes. A startling discovery under a granite rock. A grisly secret concealed in a beaver dam. A fateful choice made during a long-ago Thanksgiving weekend. It's just one surprise after another for Lorraine Trent as she grapples with the mess left after her husband dies of COVID. She's in dire straits financially, but the last thing she wants to do is move across the country to live in her daughter's basement rec room. So just how far will her best friend Winnie go to help her avoid it? Lorraine knows she can count on Winnie for most things. But does that include lying to the police? Money laundering? Aiding and abetting? And how will she feel about fending off an underworld crime boss who shows an alarming interest in what they're up to? Those are big asks for any friendship. It's strange times in Prince Edward County all right, and they're about to get stranger as Lorraine and Winnie muddle their way through an accidental and highly disorganized life of crime.
