The feud between Shallowwater Bay oystermen Brent Booi and Tom Diamond is decades old. Environmental issues, tideland ownership, and burrowing shrimp control are only a part of their ongoing disputes which escalate as time goes on.

When recent UW Marine Biologist grad Nautika Henry arrives, she enlists Sylvia Avery to help her find out what really happened to her missing father, while also working to save the oyster fishery from extinction.

Sylvia and Nautika uncover many long-standing secrets in the tiny burg of Willoopah. But must someone die before all the fences can be mended?

About the Book

Those frolicsome geriatric belly-dancing widows of the North Beach Peninsula are looking for love again, and Sylvia Avery is recruited to help them navigate the hoops, hurdles, and hustles of online dating.

While Sylvia thinks it’s a lot like trying to herd cats, Sheriff Donaldson is working overtime passing out pepper spray and warning the ladies not to send money to these internet guys.

Meanwhile, Deputy Freddy Morgan and Kanjirappally Kumera are still wooing Sylvia, and The Veiled Rainbow is pressuring her to “make a decision, already!”

Love is in the air, online and elsewhere, but Sheriff D’s background checks reveal that a few of these fellows are up to no good. Can they be stopped before someone gets killed?
