Amy and Travis accompany Graham to Ithaca, New York upon the discovery that Graham's much younger brother, Alastair Winslow, a Rockwell College History professor with who Graham admits he was not as close as he would now want, has gone missing, a bullet casing and what was determined to be Al's blood evident in Al's house. They will eventually learn that Al had been left a threatening note of an unknown nature posted on his office door which probably is related to his disappearance. Sheriff Harry Ridgeway, the lead police investigator, welcomes both the Winslows and Travis' assistance in the investigation. Much like this case being a Winslow family endeavor, that family which Graham and Amy do include Travis, they will all learn beyond evidence that Al is still alive, that he had his hands in many different family situations. There is his work family which includes ex-wife Professor Carmela Rhee, protégé Professor Mark Lyons, and TA Lucy Harding, which beyond the divorce has the issue of what seems to be a pending charge to college's ethics board filed by Carmela against Al, and Al's late payment of the sizable divorce settlement to Carmela, money which Al apparently did not have. There is the pro bono tutoring Al was doing for student Janey Sullivan organized by her father, Frank Sullivan, a "businessman" who is suspected to be a violent and controlling mob boss, although Janey's mother, Sinead Sullivan, seemed more interested in what happened with Janey than Frank. And Al was apparently doing some consulting work for the Kent family on the history of Kent Lake Lodge, the resort where Amy, Travis and Graham are staying, that work which only a handful of people knew about.—Huggo

Synchronicity, which Amy is currently teaching in one of her classes, seems to be pervading her and Travis' lives. Nearing the end of the process, Amy has agreed to take over as Chair of the search committee for Elmstead College's new Dean of Students, she being up front to President Rivers that her friend, Dr. Tabby Felton, is one of the candidates. Tabby herself finds that she is torn in that her boyfriend, Elmstead's IT department head Joe Gearson, has just accepted a job at Oxford and has asked her to move with him to England, she however still going through with her application for the Dean's position while she decides what to do if and when she is offered the position. Concurrently, Travis has headed back to Chicago to testify in the serial murder case of Jeffrey Lewandowski aka the Wolfman, it the last case Travis led for the Chicago PD. While his testimony goes well, what doesn't go as well is Lewandowski's custody, he who is able to escape, he, in the process, leaving behind a threat of retaliation, that threat supposedly directed at Travis. As such, a close call back in Garrison that almost takes Travis' life - a home explosion as Travis is walking by - cannot be discounted as being that payback by Lewandowski. Travis, with Amy by his side, and Travis' new partner, Detective Maria Valdez, have to investigate the non-Lewandowski aspects of the case in learning about the homeowners, married couple Mel and Rita Goff, who were not home at the time, what caused the explosion, and why one of the Goffs' neighbors, retired lawyer Bill Breyer, who coincidentally or not so coincidentally used to work at the same law firm as Lewandowski's defense attorney, seems so interested in the Goffs and their house. Lewandowski potentially being involved brings FBI Agent Kate Coulson to Garrison, she who worked on the case back in Chicago with Travis. While Amy is happy to see Kate involved if only for Travis' safety and protection, she may not be as comfortable in how Kate was unofficially involved in the case in her more official role associated to Travis at the time, that of Mrs. Travis Burke.—Huggo

People are descending on Elmstead College in Garrison, Washington for the Mystery Book Festival, organized in part by English Professor Amy Winslow, who specializes in crime fiction, and which has as the keynote speaker Professor Emeritus and author of the successful Atticus Keller series of mystery books, Amy's father Graham Winslow. In addition to the legion of fans including Hannah Steinhousen, President of the Graham Winslow fan club Frankfurt chapter, Graham will find people at the event with who he has long burned bridges, including author Rick Fitch, formerly a friend who stole the idea of what was to be Graham's first book - Rick never having achieved the success enjoyed by Graham - and Betsy Crane, Graham's former and Rick's current editor, she who it is rumored leaked that manuscript of Graham's to Rick. The event also marks the first time Graham meets his current New York based editor, Celia Bunton, with who he has only communicated electronically up to this point. Graham's animosity toward Celia in her push to have his books be made into a series of movies changes upon meeting her, she the first woman since the death of his wife/Amy's mother who he would like to get to know in a personal sense. Someone unexpected at the festival is Reno Police Detective Phil Jenk, who Graham had once hired as a consultant on one of his books. Phil had received a mysterious invitation to the event, with some coded message concerning Graham. In the process of the event, a few crimes occur, including a break in at Amy's office where nothing seemed to be stolen. But of a more serious nature is a series of murders. Detective Travis Burke and his partner, Amy's former student Claire Tate, lead the investigations. While Travis has now expected and welcomes Amy's involvement in most investigations, he has to limit her direct involvement on these cases, which may douse the flames of what has been the sexual tension between them.—Huggo

Following her father Graham Winslow doing a public reading from the just released The Waving Flame, the latest in his successful Atticus Keller novel series, Elmstead College Literature Department chair Amy Winslow, a crime fiction specialist, and Garrison PD Detective Travis Burke, the two who have not only worked together on cases but have developed yet largely unspoken feelings for each other, are planning on going on their first date. The reading will be held at the bookstore run by Amy's former student Blake Newman, who dropped out of the Ph.D. program to focus on writing, he proud to announce to Amy he just having received his first publishing deal. Concurrently, Amy agrees to speak to young, aspiring writer Ella Quincy, who is doing research on a possible non-fiction book concerning Amy's former Elmstead College Literature Department colleagues Evan "Mac" McKinnon and Nicole Ford, he currently serving a thirty year sentence for her murder. The motive was purportedly over the pressure on Mac, a Twain scholar, to publish as he was under consideration for tenure, Nicole who discovered what looked to be an early draft of Huckleberry Finn, having access to such which would have solidified his position regardless of the fact that the manuscript was later proved to be a fake. The conviction seems to have ruined his marriage, his physical therapist wife, Linda McKinnon, who has not visited him the two years he has been behind bars. Conversely, Nicole was already on the verge of divorce from her husband, therapist Dr. Dwight Merrill, who has never shown any grief in her death. Mac has always professed his innocence, Ella also implies she has information which she won't yet divulge as to his innocence, while Amy, just knowing Mac as she did and does, has also always believed he innocent despite the overwhelming evidence which led to his conviction. Travis' now retired predecessor, Howard Clausen, who worked on the case, does not take too kindly to especially Amy poking her nose in what he sees as a good conviction, Amy's position which places Travis in a difficult position. Regardless, Travis has no choice but to get involved when Amy's safety in the process becomes an issue. The keys to who was behind Nicole's murder may be hidden in two manuscripts, one published and one not, and a five year old cold case.—Huggo
