Jenny McNair, part-time and reluctant PI, is settling into life on her island in the Pacific Northwest. Recovering from a divorce and from having solved the mystery of a body buried in her rose garden, she is now able to focus on her pottery and her spiritual counseling. Her serenity is short-lived. First her peaceful life is interrupted by the discovery of three abandoned dogs who have washed up on a nearby island, then by a teenage boy on the run from a band of corrupt cops, a bizarre art sculpture theft, and finally and most happily by a new love interest.
Overwhelmed, Jenny struggles to find clarity. The puzzle pieces begin to fall into place and in her inimitable way, Jenny is able to solve the mysteries as the solution of one leads to the solution of the others.
