An almost twenty-year-old unsolved murder from Florida€s pot-hauling days gets Hannah Smith€s attention, but so does a more immediate problem. A private museum devoted solely to the state€s earliest settlers and pioneers has been announced, and many of Hannah€s friends and neighbors in Sulfur Wells are being pressured to make contributions.
The problem is the whole thing is a scam, and when Hannah sets out to uncover who€s behind it, she discovers that things are even worse than she thought. The museum scam is a front for a real estate power play, her entire village is in danger of being wiped out€"and the forces behind it have no intention of letting anything, or anyone, stand in their way.
