"Faith Fairchild's husband, the Reverend Thomas Fairchild, learns that nursery school teacher Lora Deane has received threatening phone calls. And she's not the only resident of Aleford, Massachusetts, who is being terrorised. Some local environmentalists, protesting about the proposed housing development that will destroy Beecher's Bog, have become targets of a vicious campaign of intimidation - reason enough for Faith to launch into some clandestine sleuthing. But when a body turns up in the charred ruins of a suspicious house fire, Faith is suddenly investigating a murder - and in serious danger of getting bogged down in a very lethal mess indeed!"--Publisher description.
