Lindy Larsen’s inherited ranch is financially struggling. She hopes her career as a PI will keep it afloat, but an assignment surveilling a man suspected of fraud leads her to a house he claims to be renovating, yet nothing indicates work is being done there. Plus, several women in the area go missing, and their bodies are found near where she’s seen the fraudster, which is miles from where he should be.
Could he be involved? Is that house on the wrong side of the tracks where he kept the women? Although Lindy’s searches turn up nothing, she can’t shake her suspicion. And now, she’s caught her boyfriend in a series of lies. A bright spark is the arrival of her best friend, Kristy, who seems to have marital problems of her own.
Then Kristy disappears.
Lindy has no choice but to check out the old house. She’ll be careful. But with a serial killer on the loose, just being careful might not be enough.
Lindy Larsen promised K.C. she would stop snooping into other people’s business. Her obsession has landed her in danger before, after all. But when her suspicions are aroused, it’s a promise she can’t keep.
Lindy and K.C. are back at Wacasko-Wâti Ranch, looking forward to a drama-free life together. Then the excavation for the building K.C. needs for his business uncovers skeletons, and they didn’t die of natural causes. With K.C.’s building project on hold for the murder investigation, the ranch’s chronic cash flow problem balloons. Renting the unused hayloft seems like the perfect solution. But why is the tenant so mysterious? And why are the crates they moved in so heavy?
One by one, the murder victims are identified, and they’re not from the distant past. The killer is still out there. And the trail leads right to Wacasko-Wâti.
A new job in another town seems like the answer to a prayer. But taking it could be a fatal decision. Lindy Larsen’s job at Western Savings & Loan is what keeps her ranch afloat, so when she’s offered a promotion she accepts, even though the bigger paycheque means moving to the remote town of Katawasis Lake. Only days into her new job, Lindy runs afoul of the manager’s unconventional rules. She has no choice but to do as he asks, but can’t shake the feeling he’s hiding something, and it may not be legal. The regional bank auditors are suspicious too, and recruit Lindy in a sting operation. Then there’s a spate of bodies found in the lake and the victims all have one thing in common: ties to the bank. Lindy finds herself in the middle of something that’s more than fraud and bigger than just the bank manager. She has stumbled into a tangled maze of criminal activity more widespread than they realized and she’s attracted the attention of some very dangerous people. Lindy has a target on her back. Will she be the next floating corpse?
