The news is as slow as the lazy, final days of summer in Jubilant Falls when editor Addison McIntyre drives out to the Lunatic Fringe farm, to interview Russian-born Ekaterina Bolodenka for a story on her award-winning weaving and the llamas and alpacas she raises there.

But there's something about farm manager Jerome Johnson that Addison doesn't trust, particularly when she—or the police—can't verify anything about either's past.

Meanwhile, crime reporter Graham Kinnon is on the trail of white supremacists that may be moving into the county. One in particular may have answers to Graham's fractured past—or his future.

When animals are mutilated and Jerome is murdered, the quest is on to solve the murder on the Lunatic Fringe.

This is the fourth in Debra Gaskill's Jubilant Falls series.
