After her marriage to a high-powered CEO ends after 28 years, Wimsey Reade moves to the Old England Retirement Village on Lake LBJ in Texas' beautiful Hill Country. All she wants is some peace and quiet-but her first day in the village, a woman she meets by chance is inexplicably murdered. Because of what Wimsey may have witnessed, the detective in charge of the case asks for her help. At that time the news hits that Wimsey's ex-husband, head of an international communications company, is indicted on felony charges of mail fraud and money laundering, and she stumbles upon evidence that may convict him. Soon Wimsey is being stalked. Is it because of her ex-husband or the woman's murder? To find out, Wimsey throws a Halloween party which succeeds a little too well when a mannequin comes to life.
