Book Synopsis

The Jessie Arnold mysteries offer "real thrills set against the wild beauty of Alaska" (Minneapolis Star-Tribune)--and this time, Jessie unscrambles a deadly puzzle along the Alaskan Inside Passage...

Two of Jessie's friends are throwing a party at their new digs--an old lighthouse on the Alaskan Inside Passage. Not a party in the typical sense, but one where guests earn their keep by scraping, painting, and generally restoring Five Finger Light, named after the long, low islands around it. So Jessie decides to leave her partner-in-crime, Alex, alone for a few days and lend a hand. With the company of old friends and a view to die for, Jessie won't soon forget this weekend--especially when she stumbles across a dead body. Looks like an accident. But even as a frantic Alex learns that someone's cut the phone lines and wrecked the radio, Jessie realizes there's a killer loose on the island. Worse yet, the killing spree might not be over--even though the party certainly is....
