Nestled in the heart of the Adirondacks, Miller’s Kill, New York is about as safe as it gets. That’s why Episcopal minister Clare Fergusson is shocked when the Fourth of July weekend brings a rash of
vicious assaults to the scenic town. Even Clare’s good friend, police chief Russ Van Alstyne, is shaken by the brutality of the crimes—especially when it appears that the victims were chosen because
they are gay. But when a third assault of an out-of-town developer ends in murder, Clare and Russ wonder if the recent crime wave is connected to the victim’s controversial plan to open an upscale
spa in Miller’s Kill. But not all things in the tiny town are what they seem—and soon, Clare and Russ are left to fight their unspoken attraction to one another even as they uncover a labyrinthine
conspiracy that threatens to turn deadly for them both …

Editorial Reviews
“The plot is complicated, and the ethical issues are even thornier.
Wisely, Spencer-Fleming treats them with the same delicacy she extends
to Clare’s forbidden love.” —New York Times
“Despite the brutal crimes, this is a quiet and civilized story just
right for those who enjoy a modern take on the old-fashioned whodunit.” —Rocky Mountain News
“Exciting…keeps the pages turning…Clare’s army background and a plot framed by church rituals
add interest to the series.” —Booklist
“Even more action, more plot-twists, and more unconsummated romance than in Clare and Russ’s notable debut.” —Kirkus
“Riveting…Not
just fans of ecclesiastical mysteries will have reason to rejoice.” —Publishers Weekly
