"April arrives in Martha's Vineyard, bringing two of life's inescapable certainties--death and taxes. When the body of a local resident is found inside the home of one of the town's three tax assessors--along with some incriminating evidence of an embezzlement scheme--ninety-two-year-old sleuth Victoria Trumbull is on the case. Also falling under Victoria's eagle eye is the arrival of the glamorous, estranged wife of a popular televangelist. She's eager to buy some island property. But someone knows something about the woman's sordid past and isn't above blackmail to keep silent. It's just the beginning of a trail of bodies, illicit doings and secrets that collide in the brisk ocean air on Victoria's doorstep. And when her search for a missing tax assessor leads to a dangerous truth, it takes the insight and experience of a thirteenth-generation islander to fit the puzzle pieces together--and outwit a ruthless foe"--Publisher description.
