A sister just can't get a break.

Recent Air Force retiree Duncan Godley has no idea what her next move will be. But fate sends her a very obtuse suggestion in the form of her ex-husband’s dead body on the floor of her brand-new home. Now the neurodiverse detective and her new bow Pup chase cluses, peruse the past, and seek solace for the dead, even as the fates make extraordinarily different plans.

Ten years ago, Duncan was shot and left for dead on the edge of a cold Minnesota river. Thing looked pretty grim. But when a good-looking young genius of a doctor wrests her life from the icy grips of death, what could she do but follow her heart...even as her commanding general ordered the rest of her body a world away.

Now the doctor is dead, but how...and why...? Why after a decade did he make his way back into Duncan’s life just to wind up lifeless on her living room floor?  It's a riddle she races to unravel, a mystery sending her back in time to revisit an old flame, all while searching for clues with her one true love.
