When Colley Jameson, the unpopular, egocentric editor of the Island Enquirer abruptly cancels Victoria Trumbulls weekly column, the ninety-two-year-old Marthas Vineyard native takes her reporting skills to the competition, and immediately outscoops the Enquirer-with a murder story. Body parts of a local man wash up at two separate locations, and an investigation reveals that he was having an affair with a woman who is fatally poisoned-and just happens to be one of Jamesons ex-wives. A third victim connected to the newpaperman coincides with a series of fake obituaries detailing the ruthless editors own demise. Certain shes the only person on the island with enough insight to save his skin-and his newspaper-Colley tells Victoria to name her price, before a killer terminates his career. . . permanently.
