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 suspicious 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.
