It's a brand new day in Cedar Grove, Washington, and Code Enforcement Officer Kaitlyn Willis is happy to put the drama of the past few months behind her. She's got a great boyfriend, a giant cat, and a job she loves. But when the invitation to her twenty-year high school reunion arrives, Kaitlyn starts doubting her life choices ... and that's before Bernard Dietmann comes hurtling through her back door, running from the cops and waving a gun. The tragic consequences throw Kaitlyn's right back into the thick of Cedar Grove's crime scene, and leave her shaken and full of questions. How did "Bernie Body," a guy who was once so popular, end up in such a bad place? And who's blaming Kaitlyn for his fall? Kaitlyn's determined to stay out of trouble for once, but a stalker is even more determined to drag her into it. The threats against her are piling up, and her friends on the police force aren't moving fast enough to find out who's behind them. It's time for Cedar Grove's favorite municipal employee to step in and do some investigating of her own. At least it will give her something to talk about at the reunion.
