Winston Windflower is back with the RCMP, this time as Acting inspector, hoping life in the tiny town of Grand Bank, Newfoundland, remains calm. But things get stirred up right away when there are suspicious fires and an outsider’s body is found in one of them. Now, they have a murder to solve.

Things get even stranger when there appears to be connections to a major gold heist on the mainland and lots of nefarious characters that start to cause havoc for the local police officers. To add to the suspense, Windflower receives a message in a dream that his friend and colleague, Eddie Tizzard, is going to be in mortal danger.

Windflower must help protect Eddie and those he loves while tracking down a murderer and reassuring the community that they are safe from danger.

Once again, this is a story filled with both intrigue and suspense but also warmth, humour and a love of family and community.
