She always thought she could trust her judgment when it came to her friends...suddenly, her judgment seems very much in question.

Helen Bradley finds herself still mystified over the ups and downs of her second marriage; at times it seems widowhood was an easier road. Supposedly retired from his career with the FBI, her husband has become sullen and secretive, and after a disturbing phone call, he heads off to Portland with hardly a good-bye. Soon after J.B.'s departure comes the news of Ethan Crane's sudden death, the second Bay Village mayor to die in a matter of months. Are the two deaths related? When Helen's best friend, Rosie Monahan, is implicated in the mayor's demise, Helen determines to shed the light of justice on the layers of mystery surrounding his death, and to fight for reconciliation with the man she loves.
