Paramedic Zoe Chambers hoped a week in the Monongahela Region Fair, showing her horse and manning the ambulance, would give a much-needed diversion from recent events that continue to haunt her. A vintage friend, a bossy nemesis, and a teenage crush from her 4-H days fail to offer the distraction she acquired in mind. But ever the caregiver, she soon bonds using a troubled young and a grieving father.

Back in Vance Township, a missing woman turns up deceased, leading Police Key Pete Adams right into a journey through her mysterious final hours. With each brand-new idea, the tragic situations of her death grow more and more muddied. A cryptic phone call leads Pete to become listed on Zoe for an night time in the fairgrounds where the annual school bus demolition derby concludes using a gruesome discovery and a new case that may or may possibly not be connected to the first.

Pete’s quest for the motive at the rear of two homicides-and Zoe’s stubborn dedication to reunite a family-thrust them both onto a collision course using a violent and eager felon.
