The cat won't come inside. The garden is trying to warn her. And someone has moved stones that should have been left alone.
Autumn in Pea Ridge should mean apple butter, sharp elbows at the Harvest Bake-Off, and getting the nursery ready for winter. Maple Crowder has enough to do without her one-eyed cat keeping watch on the ridge. But Sprig doesn't ignore breakfast without a reason.
The Historical Society calls its latest project a restoration. Maple's green-witch gift calls it trouble.
When the stonemason working on an old cairn is found dead beneath the displaced stones, the police chief is ready to call it an accident.
Maple and Detective Sawyer Vance aren't convinced.
Stone doesn't fall uphill.
A dead man's daybook holds questions someone would rather leave unanswered, and a visitor to town has a face nobody seems able to remember. As Maple follows the clues, she discovers the cairn is more than a piece of local history. Its stones are bound to her family's keeping, and putting them back will take more than a good mason.
