THINK SALAMANDERS CAN’T HELP SOLVE A MURDER MYSTERY?
Of course they can if they join up with Cassandra Patton Conover and her wayward dog Pock in the third Mystery in Maine … “Deadly Assault."
(There's otters under the ice, too.)
The Plot … the Murder … the Threat:
Cassandra Patton Conover, weak from a long recuperation, arrives at her woods cabin only to fall through melting spring ice with her dog Pock.
Life gets complicated when her snowshoes snag a body under the water, and she finds her backyard woods littered with No Trespassing signs and surveillance cameras.
The huge real estate sign boasting sprawling lot development looks like the spidery X-rays that first mapped her cancer.
Helped by the mystery of the body in the lake, she plots a woods cure against impossible odds. With her dog, wild creatures of all sizes, and a game warden who cannot turn away from Patton or the looming loss of his tribal lands, she (once again) steps outside the law to solve a murder plotted by relentless forces aimed at the Maine woods.
