Jenny McNair, part-time and reluctant PI, is settling into life on her island in the Pacific Northwest. Recovering from a divorce and from having solved the mystery of a body buried in her rose garden, she is now able to focus on her pottery and her spiritual counseling. Her serenity is short-lived. First her peaceful life is interrupted by the discovery of three abandoned dogs who have washed up on a nearby island, then by a teenage boy on the run from a band of corrupt cops, a bizarre art sculpture theft, and finally and most happily by a new love interest.
