Tom Newquist had been a detective in the Nota Lake sheriff's office--a tough, honest cop respected by everyone. But still, she couldn't help wondering what had so bothered Tom in the last six weeks of his life. When he died suddenly, the townfolk were sad but not surprised. What was it that had made him prowl restlessly at night and brood constantly?

Kinsey digs right in and roams the sleepy, one-horse town of Nota Lake for clues, interviewing a colorful cast of in-laws and locals. Selma Newquist, a devastated widow whose makeup tips seem to come from Tammy Faye Baker. They sit around for a fortnight playing gin rummy and eating peanut butter and pickle sandwiches together, but perennially single Kinsey grows wary: "It was time to hit the road before our togetherness began to chafe." She heads off to meet Dietz's former client, Mrs. To her surprise, he lives in a palatial penthouse, which--under the unspoken bylaws of investigative etiquette--she qualmlessly snoops through. Beneath the quaint, quiet,
