Sheriff Sharyn Howard has her hands full. The county commission wants to cut her staff. Colonel John Metzger wants his brother's killer yesterday. And the Navy wants to be sure she comes up with the "right" answers to the town's new mystery.

Add to that a lovesick deputy and her mother dating Senator Caison Talbot, one of Sharyn's least favorite people.

But what really has her puzzled is the mystery everyone in town is talking about. Someone shot WWII Navy Captain William "Billy" Bost as he dipped his plane's wings to his sweetheart. The secret's been hidden for over half a century. Is it possible that the person who killed Billy Bost, Diamond Springs' most famous hero, is also the same person who killed the Pulitzer prize-winning author looking for the truth?

Joyce and Jim Lavene have a passion for back roads, small towns, and looking for the extraordinary in everyday life. They live in Midland, North Carolina with their children, Chris, Jeni and Emmie and their grandchildren, Eric and Gabrielle.
