No sooner has she unloaded her bags than she senses trouble between retired Judge Talbot Simpson and his longtime housekeeper\/companion, Lavinia Smalls. What--or who--has driven a wedge between these two people who have been the bedrock of Bay's existence since her childhood? And why won't either of them talk about it? Then a phone call from her partner-in-crime-solving, Erik Whiteside, sets in motion a chain of events that will ultimately expose the dark underbelly of the aristocratic local society in which she grew up.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eErik's old college drinking buddy, archaeologist Gray Palmer, has uncovered a grave on an obscure island just off the South Carolina coast and hints the bones may be those of a murder victim.
