They are assisting an elderly client of Erin’s reclaim an antique chest from an uncooperative antique dealer when Doc Osborne stumbles over a rug and human remains tumble onto the floor.

While he is alerting Chief of Police Lew Ferris, his fly fishing instructor who is more than that, he learns that his granddaughter, Mason, may be the victim of an assault. This brings back ugly memories exacerbated by the release of a man, a former Loon Lake resident, convicted twenty years earlier of attempted murder -- and who once stalked another of Osborne’s daughters.

When his granddaughter is rescued by C.J. Calverson, the very pretty young wife of an older financier, Osborne and Chief Ferris are relieved -- only to learn that the young wife’s husband is convinced there may be a contract out on his life – and there may be good reasons why someone wants him dead. Hampered by the poor performance of Loon Lake’s coroner, Chief Ferris brings Doc Osborne on board to help with the dental forensics as the Wausau Crime Lab needs his assistance to identify the human bones found in the antique rug. The victim’s identity leads to the re-opening of a cold case connected to a series of burglaries that are inexplicably occurring again.

The action ramps up when fishing guide, Ray Pradt, while coaching his young friend, Nick, a college student competing in a local round of the National Collegiate Bass Fishing Tournament, finds too many reasons to see the very attractive C.J. This complicates a domestic dilemma already bordering on violence.
