- Synopsis
- Quiet--that's what the town of Spender's Ferry is. The lake, the abandoned mill, the woods behind the house-- everything is so rural and peaceful, not at all like the clamor and constant street noise of the Bronx. For all of the picturesque beauty of this rural retreat from New York Citymthe quaint stores, the two-lane roads, the blue lake lying like a gem at its heart--the one thing AI and Sylvie Zukal notice most since they won the lottery and retired here is the quiet. Of course, many of their wealthy neighborsmwho include aspiring politicians, researching botanists, and practicing gurus--think that this loud couple from the lower class is spoiling the serenity that envelops Spender's Ferry. But the threats AI and Sylvie receive don't mean much until their sweet guard dog is found dead--poisoned. And then a member of the biological research team is found a victim of this silent assassin. Suddenly, the quiet is as loud as a scream. In this fourth Constance Leidl and Charlie Meiklejohn novel, the persistent private investigators discover that the placid woods of Spender's Ferry muffle a teeming jungle of secrets-- secret vices, secret pasts, secret pleasures. And one man's pleasure, as the saying goes, is another man's sweet, sweet poison.
