A weekend getaway turns murderous for the Moody County D.A.’s friends.
No one is more surprised than Moody County’s District Attorney Daniel Frazer when Walt, his old college roommate, shows up in a cabin along the river with a group of friends for a getaway over New Year’s Eve weekend.
But the horn-blowing and champagne-drinking cease when Walt’s murdered body is found in the woods. This is Daniel’s first murder case since being appointed D.A., and he turns to the district attorney Oliver Clarke in neighboring Gyver County for help.
Oliver is wrapped up in his own case, so he suggests Daniel seek the aid of the Grave Sisters. But the sisters’ expertise lies in their familiarity with Gyver, California, and its inhabitants. In Moody, Nevada, they are in the dark.
Can the Grave sisters help Daniel sort out the likely suspects among friends and enemies to solve this twisted tale of lies and deceit? Will a fancy cigarette holder, a plain cigarette case, and a figure running “like lightning” through the forest give them insights into who killed Daniel’s friend?
