The discovery of skeletal bones shocks a small ski resort town along the Appalachian Hiking Trail. The Coroner's finding that the bones belong to a female professor from a nearby college galvanized the residents who look to their inexperienced sheriff for answers, but he has none.

With the aid of Lily Pennwether, owner of the town's quaint bookstore, who considers herself an amateur sleuth and her fellow club members, Sheriff Danny Cashion finds himself beset with many clues; too many and mostly misleading.

Wading through the myriad of lies and half-truths – and more deaths – Sheriff Cashion must find the killer or killers to avert complete panic in the mountain village, afraid that they will strike yet again.
