More about the book

The police discover a young girl's body, dressed in an old-fashioned white lace dress, just outside Bear Falls. Then another local girl from town disappears. Librarian Jenny Wilson and her neighbor, author and Little Person Zoe Zola, know they have to do something. A trio of wealthy newcomers from Chicago has just moved into a huge mansion on Lake Michigan. Nathan and Delia Wickley are genial siblings, and Fitzwilliam Dillon, the mansion's owner, is a Little Person like Zoe. Fitzwilliam offers two million dollars to Bear Falls, but the townspeople are far from agreed on what to do with the money-- But it'll all come to naught if the missing girl isn't found, and the culprit identified.
