Should auld acquaintance be forgot… The last year has been eventful for Marcia and husband Will. They've successfully launched their private investigation agency and completed their family with an adorable but creatively energetic baby girl. Now, they're about to ring in the New Year with friends and neighbors, but there's something more than champagne bubbling in Mayfair, Florida. The octogenarian matriarch of the town is always looking for ways to boost the community's economy. Her latest scheme is the addition of a row of shops along Main Street. But a few of her new tenants have something more nefarious in mind than simply selling their wares. When old hostilities set off New Year’s fireworks, a shopkeeper ends up dead, and two friends of Marcia’s are prime suspects. Determined to clear them, Marcia and Will—with Buddy’s help, of course—set out to uncover the real Grim Reaper.

But various forces push psychotherapist Kate Huntington and her P.I. husband to investigate behind the scenes, and what they find doesn’t add up. Why did the boy’s oldest brother disappear on the same day? And did the third brother, who’s on the autism spectrum and nonverbal, witness something relevant?

For Kate, the case has become personal as she’s connected with the grieving mother, whose dead son was the same age as her Billy. The answers may come from unexpected sources, but she and Skip better find them soon... before another life is lost.
