Like bananas, Sheriff Cas Larkin's troubles are ripening in bunches.
A fully dressed woman is found drowned in the lake. He has a citizen no one can find, but hasn't been reported as missing and all of her known acquaintances are standing in the way of Cas's investigation. Then Judge Carpenter's fiancée lands in jail, accused of a bloody murder way down yonder in New Orleans!
Now Cas must pick up the pace and connect the dots...before he goes bananas himself.
