Monica Brown needs a vacation—and a weekend at Lake Canopy Cabins with her best friend Carol sounds like the perfect escape from Millpond. Fresh air, lazy afternoons by the water, and absolutely no dead bodies.
But when a group of hunters in the neighboring cabin loses one of their own, Monica's so-called getaway takes a deadly turn. Eddie Loman has vanished, and nobody seems eager to explain why. The remaining hunters are jumpy, the stories don't add up, and the woods surrounding the lake suddenly feel a lot less peaceful.
With Sheriff Nathan Thomas arriving to investigate and Monica's instincts pulling her deeper into the case, she can't resist following the trail—even when it leads her on a terrifying chase through the forest. Someone at Lake Canopy is hiding a grudge worth killing for, and Monica is getting dangerously close to the truth.
