Dana Potter can’t believe her eyes when she witnesses a well-to-do woman stealing from a homeless man in broad daylight! Her town of Pippin, Georgia, is tiny and full of southern charm and hospitality. Why, they’ve hardly had someone litter there since Dana can remember, let alone steal in such a depraved way!
Her curiosity, and her indignation, are piqued as she becomes determined to bring the perpetrator to justice.
Her little investigation quickly turns into something far more sinister. The closer she gets to the mystery woman, the more she begins to suspect that the woman might not be as evil as she once believed. Over the next few days, Ms. Potter leverages her natural busybody spirit to get to the bottom of the real evil out there.
Along the way, she finds herself in situations she never would have imagined: face-to-face with a pistol, hoisting herself into an old sailboat, and reuniting two estranged lovers.
