    "A marvelous sequel to Huron Breeze. It's thrilling and absorbing—a wonderful whodunit mystery." 
    —David Dobiasek, "The Voice" of Best Thriller Books 
    Labor Day Weekend—one last taste of summer. 
    In the quiet, sunrise-side town of Hampstead, Michigan, Rachel Roberts descends the stairs in her beach house, ready to sit on the back deck, have a glass of wine, and feel the Huron breezes come in from the water as the stars start to glow in the night sky above. 
    But everything changes when she sees headlights coming down her driveway. As the vehicle approaches, she becomes both excited and puzzled. Excited, because the vehicle belongs to her friend, retired Hampstead P.I. Obadiah Ben-David. Puzzled, because she has no idea why he is paying her an evening visit. 
    She soon learns that death has returned to Hampstead. 
    There has been an apparent murder-suicide involving the dazzling, socialite couple Artie and Misty Jensen in their mansion located in the posh, gated, beach-side neighborhood of Falcon Crest, and Ben-David has been asked to lend a hand as Hampstead's new P.I. has been called away to deal with a family emergency. Ben-David is confident that it will be a quick visit to Falcon Crest. Whereas the murder case last summer was mystifying and treacherous, this one seems to be straightforward. Nevertheless, he would like for Rachel to be a second set of eyes for him when he examines the crime scene. 
    She accepts. 
    She shouldn't have. 
    For when the final days of summer arrive, the temperatures begin to cool . . . and the Huron nights heat up.
