Stehekin, Washington. November 1940. Cars park in one lot over the winter, the ranger station has the only telephone, and it can only be reached by boat or floatplane. This is the most remote hamlet in the country. Murder is a problem. Hope Merriweather is on assignment for the Seattle Star, interviewing reclusive Great War flying ace Edgar Moment. She finds the body of Hal Volker, a fly fishing expert friend of her father's. Fellow reporter and admirer Seth Laske is sent to help with background information. The worlds of Edgar and Hal converge as Hope uncovers surprising, sometimes unsavory facts in each man's life. In this tiny community, everyone is a suspect--and the sheriff is twenty-four hours away.
