Book 3 in the Adirondack Mysteries Series
Sometimes the most breathtaking views hide the darkest secrets...
When recently widowed English teacher Ellie Martin and her loyal dog Watson check into the luxurious Last Peak Lodge for a peaceful Adirondack getaway, she's determined to enjoy the mountain scenery and finally have a vacation without stumbling over another mystery. After solving two murder cases already this summer, she deserves some rest!
But her hopes for tranquility vanish when celebrated travel writer Cassandra Rowe -- whose guidebooks inspired Ellie's entire summer journey -- is found dead at the base of Eagle's Nest Trail after a heated dispute with the lodge's charming yet secretive manager.
As Ellie reluctantly finds herself drawn into the investigation, she discovers the grand timber-framed resort harbors century-old secrets: hidden passages, Prohibition-era tunnels, and a property deed with a peculiar covenant that someone is desperate to keep buried. When the lodge's former owner Rebecca Turner mysteriously disappears, Ellie realizes she's once again stepped into a deadly game where the stakes are measured in millions of dollars... and human lives.
With a suspicious sheriff watching her every move, a cast of guests each hiding their own agenda, and her ever-faithful Watson sniffing out clues others miss, Ellie must unravel the connections between a fraudulent identity claim, a decades-old distillery operation, and Cassandra's final research project before someone else falls victim to the breathtaking view at Eagle's Nest.
But the most shocking revelation awaits at the summit -- one that suggests Ellie's three "accidental" mysteries might be part of something far more sinister stretching across the entire Adirondack region.
