Synopsis: Two seedy murders interrupt the wedding festivities of an ex-CIA agent turned smalltown Virginia sheriff in this mystery by the author of Scone Island. Ethyl Smut, everyone agreed, deserved to die. But even a life wasted deserves justice. When a second body is unearthed in Ethyl&’s shallow grave and the nightmarish George LeBrun finds his way to Ike&’s desk, things get messy fast. Then there is Ethyl&’s missing daughter, Darla, who could testify against some important people if she were found. And as if Ike hadn&’t enough on his plate, former CIA co-workers Karl Hedrick and Sam arrive to investigate the source of the second body. It&’s like old home week in Picketsville. Finally, there is the ongoing saga of Ike and Ruth&’s engagement that must be settled one way or another. Can Ike solve these cases before his altar date?
