Flush off her first successful project of her second career--Mill Marketing and Restoration--Marcy Dehanne sets off to restore yet another old mill in western North Carolina. Deteriorating StarShine Mill boasts the largest waterwheel she has ever seen, but she is sure it is redeemable. Her enthusiasm is dampened, however, by the mill's desolate and eerie atmosphere and--you guessed it--another dead body. Marcy knows the chances of saving StarShine diminish if she doesn't solve the mystery surrounding the boy's death. In a college town beset with its share of problems from hikers to bikers, she faces a formidable foe in a sheriff suspicious of her "nosing around" in the law's business. Ignoring common sense, direct orders, and unwanted advice, Marcy, along with a young townie waitress named Charlene and enigmatic reprobate Axel, determines to get the job done and see justice prevail--Back cover.
