Nan Holloway, a one-time network TV correspondent, is now barely making it as a PR consultant in small Upstate New York. Enter Alex Rayburn-a silver-haired man-about-town and a matchless detective, at least in his own mind. Life quickly changes for Nan, leaving her both titillated and terrified. In Adventure One: Reappearing Persons, Nan spots an ominous figure from the past and a missing woman reappears-dead. Nan and Alex are brought together in an uneasy partnership that turns out to be more dangerous-and more fun-than either of them anticipated. In Adventure Two: Unrelated Incidents, a cigar store Indian is stolen from Alex's favorite tobacco emporium, and Nan learns of a threat made to a Native American environmental activist. Can the problematic pair uncover the sinister connection between these seemingly unrelated incidents without falling prey to a ruthless landowner and his murderous minions?
