Private investigators Liz Talbot and Nate Andrews are all set to enjoy some quality time on the beach. That’s until they get the news about Darius. Darius DeAndre Baker, star of the hit TV show, Main Street USA, has had enough of the Hollywood highlife. After ten years of visiting everyone else’s hometown, he returns to his own—Stella Maris, South Carolina.
But the moving trucks have barely unloaded when Trina Lynn Causby, Darius’s high school girlfriend, turns up dead, and the entire town reels as Darius is arrested.
Despite the mounting evidence against him, Liz and Nate believe Darius is innocent. They dig through a scandalously long list of suspects, including Darius’s three ex-wives—who have all arrived in Stella Maris—and his love child with Trina Lynn.
But Trina Lynn led a complicated life. She had at least one stalker and two suitors—one with a jealous wife who recently made a deliciously outrageous scene when Trina Lynn turned up at a charity ball.
As the danger mounts, Liz and Nate race to find a killer and clear Darius’s name—and keep him alive.
Things should be free and easy for Liz and Nate, they have just finished a case and Nate is handing the information over to the lawyer whilst Liz heads to the local diner to catch up with the gossip over lunch with the diner's owner Moon Unit, Moon Unit has been seeing a Charleston police officer by the name of Sonny Ravenel (who is also Liz and Nate's first point of call with the Charleston police force), he sent a semi cryptic message via Moon Unit as he has a new partner who doesn't think that PI's should be anywhere NEAR anything to do with a police case, but Liz trusts Sonny and more to the point the current Stella Maris guardian spirit (aka Colleen, Liz's friend who was killed in high school) has turned up and is very interested! Before too much longer Liz and Nate's idea of a relaxing couple of months have gone by the wayside as they have a new client in the form of Darius Baker who is accused of killing his former girlfriend the local investigative reporter Trina Causby.
Now Liz and Nate need to dig deep, Colleen needs to keep Darius safe whilst he is (regrettably) locked up and everyone needs to try and keep family and friends safe, because if Darius didn't do the deed (and Colleen swears he didn't) then there is still a cold blooded killer out there.
