They make the acquaintance of a local businessman who runs a wilderness guide service. Then he’s found dead, and Kate’s friend is arrested for his murder. Kate’s efforts to find the real killer are hampered by a stalker who nearly capsizes her boat and later pursues her into a lonely backwater. Dodging powerboats and bullets, Kate needs both nerve and psychological savvy to uncover the businessman’s secret and free her friend from jail.
