From Publishers Weekly

Secret love affairs and real estate schemes drive Craig's lively 18th Martha's Vineyard mystery featuring retired Boston cop J.W. Jackson (after 2006's Dead in Vineyard Sand). While J.W.'s kids and wife, Zee, are off-island, Zee's friend Carole Cohen asks J.W. to help track down a stalker harassing her reclusive brother, Roland Nunes. A carpenter and Vietnam vet known as "The Monk," Roland lives in a cottage on a valuable plot of land. Carole, a realtor, worries that someone wants to scare her brother away. Could it be their cousin Sally Oliver, who wants to sell the land? The plot thickens with revelations about Roland's neighbors, provocative divorcée Melissa Carson and Melissa's financier fiancé, Alfred Cabot. The level of crime plaguing West Tisbury escalates from stalking to murder, leading to a resolution sure to satisfy loyal fans. (June)

With his wife, Zee, and the children gone to "America"--what those who live full-time on Martha's Vineyard call the mainland--J. W. Jackson is enough at loose ends to take a job that seems easy. A Vietnam vet named Roland, now in his 60s, living in a cabin he built himself on family land, is being harassed, and his sister believes that land lust is behind it. In effort to find out who might be putting poison in Roland's cat's food and a skunk in his water supply, J. W. does what he does best--hangs out, has lunch, drinks beer, talks to people. Then, after a woman Roland has been seeing is found dead, things get more complicated. J. W.'s easy and intelligent charm goes to darker places this time, and regular readers of the series will miss the lovely and talented Zee and their precocious children as much as J. W. does. Recipes, as always, included. GraceAnne DeCandido
