Ernie Rutland, dead and hanging from the organ in St Isidores's church, was not how Verity Long expected to meet the man her crime-writer boss sent her to find. Curious about the victim and determined to hunt down the killer, Verity becomes involved with a waspish group of thespians, and all the murky muck-raking of small-town gossip.

Verity's burgeoning romance with Detective Inspector Jerry Farish is threatened by the arrival of a ghost from her past, further complicating the search for the killer. With a spate of major burglaries and bank robberies keeping her detective busy and the killer closing in on her, Verity must decide whether to live up to her name - or to follow her heart.
