Pickett is a rich man by many of the standards that count most. A
widower and retired Toronto cop, he owns his city home free and
clear, he has a good pension and enough savings in the bank, and
he's just rebuilt a century-old log cabin in a rustic area north of
the city. Life for Pickett seems almost idyllic as he settles in
with his dog, Willis, to enjoy a peaceful existence in his cabin.
He begins to build ties to the town of Larch River - to police
chief Lyman Caxton, to the local dramatic society, and, most of
all, to Charlotte Mercer, who manages a small cafe and gives him
hope that he may not be too old for romance after all. Pickett's
police days are supposedly over, but he can't help being an
interested spectator when young Timmy Marlow is found mauled and
shot to death near a wooded trail just a mile or two from Pickett's
cabin. The death is a shock to the community. For Timmy's sister,
Betty Cullen, it is a catastrophe. She suspects that her brother, a
womanizer, may have been killed by a jealous husband, and the shame
is enough to drive her from Larch River. But is the answer to the
murder so simple? When an arrest is finally made, Pickett questions
whether justice has been done. A twisted trail into the victim's
past takes Pickett a thousand miles away to uncover the shocking
information that brings him back to the truth.
