"With the help of his mentor, Constable Douglas Hanson of Oxford, Maryland, Detective Payne has helped the local authorities, state police, and FBI solve many homicides and several other types of cases, as you've read in 'Murder on the Bay,' the first book of this series. In this book, another case comes along that baffles everyone. This doesn't stop Detective Payne, who continues to take on these challenging cases."

Edwards adds, "Detective Payne works hard on a cryptic case with his new partner, but all they find are riddles and more riddles, which put a lot of twists and turns in the murder case at hand. This even baffles Sheriff Downing and the state police. Who did this terrible crime and why? We will find out at the end, or will we?"
