A broken window, a shattered model town—and a real body among the ruins.
Barbara Stitch thought Broad Hollow’s secrets were behind her. But when a break-in at Frank Abernathy’s hardware store leaves a body in the wreckage, the town’s peace shatters. Frank—gruff, stubborn, and fiercely private—lands squarely in the police’s sights, and Barbara’s loyalty is put to the test.
Determined to clear his name, Barbara and her golden retriever, Suga, dig into a smuggling scheme hidden behind miniature train sets, antique perfume bottles, and broken promises. Suspicions swirl around Brian Taylor, a charming caterer entangled with the victim, and Heather Jacobs, a shady antiques dealer with more secrets than wares.
With every clue pulling her closer to danger, Barbara must navigate shifting loyalties and buried betrayals.
In a town where every secret fits like a piece of a hidden puzzle, she must uncover the truth before an innocent man is ruined—and before the real killer derails Broad Hollow’s fragile peace for good.
