The most hated man in Fisherville is planning to build a resort hotel on land that is now used as a little league field. Everyone in town is up in arms about it. A group of local kids burglarize his home, stealing several target pistols. The project is halted due to the fact that a state park was included in the parking area. The developer is found dead soon after. Who killed him? A rash of murders follows. Mother Lavinia Grey is determined to find the killer.

This is a very good Mother Lavinia mystery. There is alot of action and she has a new love interest. Detective Dogg has apparently gone back to his ex-wife. Fisherville is becoming a more interesting and a more dangerous place to live.

Mother Lavinia Grey is a priest at St. Bede's Episcopal Church in the quiet New Jersey river town of Fishersville. Freddy Kane, one of her cello students, and three other boys break into a house belonging to Bunker Todd, a greedy developer seeking to build a resort hotel on the town little league ball field, and steal several guns. When the police find Todd murdered near the bike path, there are several posible suspects. Mother Grey is an amateur detective who has an easy relationship with the few local police she encounters.Freddy in many ways resembles a modern Tom Sawyer. The book has a light-hearted tone but the denouement seems somewhat contrived.
