A body in the cider house. In Wallingford, the apples aren't the only thing with something rotten to the core.
Widowed retired ornithologist Beth Monroe prefers birds to people and quiet mornings to trouble until a locked door and a smell that doesn't quite belong lead her to a body at the Alderman Orchard, and she already knows two things: the scene has been arranged, and whoever arranged it is still very close.
Now Beth is following a trail of poisoned cider, forged deeds, and decades-old secrets alongside Detective Don Schiavone, the man she once loved and is very carefully not thinking about.
A town councilman with a family legacy worth millions. A historian who voted to sell everything she swore to protect. An orchard manager hiding an eleven-year-old secret. And a fixer who has already killed twice and knows exactly where Beth lives. Plus a conspiracy that runs from a dead man's secret files all the way to the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
As the web of lies pulls tighter and a shadowy operator sets his sights on her, Beth will have to expose the truth before becoming the next loose end he decides to tie off.
