Ready for a summer not so action-packed as the previous one, Tony and Price spend a summer in a western-writer friend's home. Price finds a kindred spirit in her widowed next-door neighbor Beth and Tony tries to keep writing despite groups showing up for tours of the house. A family emergency and helping Beth figure out what really happened to her husband bring more than enough adventure to these months.
