400 years after the "first Thanksgiving," a luncheon for leaders of GreenHome LLC and the Wampanoag tribe ends in murder. Or does it? Did someone kill Harriet Benbow to stop her from building luxury condos on an ancient burial ground? As payback for snatching a silver toastrack at a yard sale? Or is this a burglary gone wrong?
In the quaint seaside village of Quansett, solving a suspicious death takes collaboration. Detective Pete Altman wonders: Why did Harriet Benbow's attacker cut up her scalp? Soup-chef Lydia Vivaldi and Wampanoag pastry chef Mudge Miles wonder: Is some greedy land-grabber trying to frame the Indians? Reclusive artist Edgar Rowdey, who'd rather be working on an Agatha Christie pastiche for Golden Age magazine, wonders: What about that toastrack?
