Everyone in Tenney s Harbor, Maine, knows about the Garrison tragedy. How an unexplained fire ravaged their house, killing four of the five family members. But what people don t know is who did it. All fingers point at Pearl Haskins s father, the town drunk, who was the caretaker of the property, but she just can t believe it. Leave it to a town of rich people to blame the help.
