When a clueless couple, Alex Beahzhi and Kay Roberts purchase an abandoned farmhouse on Bradestone Island they find they bought into more than they bargained for. As people go missing and a strange young man named Wick stumbles off the ferry the dark game of murder has already begun. Of course, the local police sergeant, Ujima Washington, is asking questions: How did the bodies get where they are? Who benefits from the skullduggery? And, why is Kay such a nosy-parker? Willie Cloudmaker, a master wood carver and spirit reader, knows and so does Edgar, his amber crow companion, but neither are talking...well, with the exception of Willie.
