October on Cape Cod is always beautiful, and antique print dealer Maggie Summer is happy to visit there to help with her best friend's wedding preparations. Maggie doesn't anticipate the murder of a neighbor, nor being called into service as a counselor and interpreter. Is she really essential to the investigation, or is she avoiding a critical discussion with the man she loves? Before she knows the answer, there's another murder...and a hurricane...and then Maggie herself becomes a target.

October has arrived on bucolic Cape Cod. Shorter days, chilly temperatures, but still warm enough for an invigorating walk on the beach. That’s what Maggie Summer, the likeable protagonist in Lea Wait’s Antique Print Mystery series is looking forward to after her long drive from New Jersey. Invited to the Cape to serve as maid of honor in her best friend Gussie’s wedding, Maggie’s walk takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles over the bloated body of a man, washed up on the beach.
