About the book
In the follow-up to Taylor's poetic debut series, Agony Hill, Detective Frank Warren and his neighbor, Alice Bellows, return to investigate the death of a diplomat.
It is November 1965, during Vermont's deer season, when Vermont State Police detective Franklin Warren is summoned to The Ridge Club. A former ambassador has been shot while hunting at the exclusive men's club for politicians, diplomats, and business magnates. With the Vietnam War escalating, Warren uncovers the powerful men with potential hidden agendas and influential connections.
As Warren grows suspicious of the club members, Alice is busy hosting a dinner party and worrying about her pregnant friend, Sylvie Weber. Meanwhile, Arthur Crannock, Alice's former handler, arrives unexpectedly in Bethany, raising questions about his involvement in the hunting club incident.
With a snowstorm hitting Bethany early, cutting off power and communication, Warren and Trooper Pinky Goodrich find themselves trapped at the Ridge Club with a possible killer. Alice, facing her past in the intelligence world, must act quickly to protect Sylvie and her baby.
Sarah Stewart Taylor's historical series blends a gripping mystery with a vivid portrayal of a pivotal moment in time filled with change and unrest.
