Spending the week between Christmas and New Year's separated from her family for the first time in fifty years, Fay Cunningham barely has time for a good cry before she finds herself thrown into the investigation of an archery murder. Now she must convince a young whippersnapper police officer the arrow that smacked into a tree next to her didn't come from a hunter who mistook her for a deer. And Fay must prove it with lightning speed before the next arrow lands her six feet under.
Fay Cunningham is in a foul mood when the story begins. But you can't really blame her. She's chilled to the bone and starving for a meal loaded with fat. So when Mitchell Malone, the former police chief, rudely reminds her of why she's peddling newspapers door-to-door, she wants to tell him where he can go. But when Mitch tells her who turned up dead that morning, she looks to him for help instead.
