From the Inside Flap

When Birdie Swallow invites her long-time friend Demary Jones to visit, she's hoping for a big favor. Against her better judgment, Demary agrees to look into the twenty-two year-old murder case that put Birdie's Gran into a psychiatric institution. To her surprise, Demary discovers that few people were even questioned in the unsolved double homicide. Although the Swallows claim the case was solved, it looks like a case of an influential family wielding considerable power.

Some cracks in the family's facade are exposed and when Demary's conviction of a miscarriage of justice disturbs the Swallows' peaceful lives, another murder occurs. Can Demary solve this mystery and stop the danger that is everywhere?
