A Colorado neighborhood with charming Tudor-style homes and history of victory gardens becomes the top nightly news story featuring the murder of a man found in an alley dumpster. The suspected killer then kidnaps a security guard at a nearby shopping center and throws her in the trunk of his stolen car. The neighborhood association's Victory Garden Tour is soon. Will people still come or be scared off if the culprit is still out there? A lady-of-a-certain-age, Ellen is determined to save the day. Her cousin Murph gives up her fishing, and retired forensic cop Dungaree leaves his golf clubs on the Western Slope to help her. Eerily, in the middle of the night, Ellen's cat hisses at a shadowy figure staring at Ellen's window, while her Airedale Terrier growls very low. Who is out there, and why?
