Work is wonderfully, refreshingly dull for the forest's new law-enforcement officer. No shootings. No.bodies. No murders. Until the corpse of Nino Alvarez, an immigrant worker, is found in the woods by fire dispatcher Ginny Trask. Ginny, in light of her connections in the area, is soon deputized by Frank. Something fishy is going on at Holiday Acres, an enormous Christmas-tree farm Alvarez once managed. Ten thousand dollars is missing. Unsettling visitors from California appear. A prime suspect becomes the second victim. And Ginny's nine-year-old daughter is threatened. It's hardly surprising that the investigation reveals a nightmare of blackmail, illicit passion and secrets explosive enough to kill for.... "Skillful debut. This intriguing pair of detectives—a burned-out cop and a beautiful young widow-promise future entertaining reading." —Publishers Weekly”
