Bree MacGowan is pretty sure she knows who killed the senator's wife, she just doesn't know how to prove it. On top of that, a federal agent has her under wraps in the enemy's camp. He doesn't want, or need, Bree's input. What he wants if for her to stay put. In fact, undercover agent, Richard Hambecker, is the kind of guy that makes Bree MacGowan crazy. He's an arogant, pigheaded, can-do guy that thinks he knows everything and doesn't have to tell anything. And he's trying to keep her alive. Not that she doesn't want to be alive, it's just that she's perfectly capable of keeping herslef alive, thank you.

Being a self-sufficient, problem solving Vermont girl, Bree's used to taking care of her own problems. Just because some Ex-Army Ranger has gotten her mixed up in murder doesn't mean she's obligated to behave herself. Bree figures it's her job to get as far away from Mr. Hambecker as possible, turn in the murderer and reclaim her boyfriend and her life. But the murderer isn't going to be easy to catch, her life is in a shambles and the boyfriend isn't sure he want's to be reclaimed. It's mystery with a side of laughter.
