Gift shop owner Ray must clear two friends of murder—unless one of them really did it.

Gift shop owner Ray Watson is getting too old to face another busy tourist season up in the resort town of Dusky Cove, take care of his ailing wife, and try to respond to his grandson in jail. The one thing he needs is a break—and he finds the lift he needs in the form of a home health nurse.

Just when things are looking up for him, Ray once again has to help solve a crime when a souvenir he sold was used as a murder weapon. Ray can’t imagine that the buyer killed anyone, especially not her own father-in-law. But is their new helper a murderer?

With two people Ray cares about as the only suspects, can he clear their names? Or did one of them really commit murder?
