Vacations are supposed to be fun, but when veterinarian Ginny Reese combines a trip to a coastal island to check out an inherited property with patching up her relationship with her sister, things quickly get out of control.

First there's a corpse in the condo. Then a fortune in artwork goes missing. The lead investigator is a publicity hound, and there's a hurricane bearing down. To top it off, Ginny's former boyfriend, Joe Donegan, believes the police are looking at her for insurance fraud and murder.

With the help of her friends and her trusty dog, Remington, it's up to Ginny to find the paintings and the killer before the storm wipes everything away.
