Former society wife Grace Cassidy is learning to live on the minimum wage she earns as a bed & breakfast innsitter. When Grace finds her cat's bloody paw prints leading away from a bathtub and wants to run for her life. But she can't: her 19-year-old son is accused of pushing his pregnant girlfriend down a flight of concrete steps, and she won't abandon him.

When Liz O'Brien returns to her hometown to make peace with her ailing mother, she expects boredom and monotony. Instead, she discovers the romantic designs of a handsome cowboy and a morass of secrets that land her in the crosshairs of a killer. Who would think that Tumbleweed, an Oklahoma panhandle town so tiny it could disappear as a mirage, would be rife with embezzlement, blackmail and murder?

In the heady atmosphere of testosterone and too much booze, ten new fathers make a solemn pact that benefits those who live longest. Fifty years later, as the day of reckoning approaches, the survivors are being murdered one by one. Grace Cassidy's son is on the list. Can she solve the mystery in time to save his life?

If Grace Cassidy had known she was going to find a naked corpse in her hotel bed, lose every penny she had in the world, and encounter zany characters straight from the Mad Hatter's tea party, she might have kept her usual poise when she spotted husband Charlie's mistress at their business convention in San Francisco. She wouldn't have left in a temper to drive up the northern California coast. She certainly wouldn't have stopped at an obscure bed and breakfast called Wimberly Place-or become the prime suspect in a murder investigation.
