Civic-minded librarian Miss Helma Zukas has reluctantly
agreed to use her long-dormant skills as a canoeist to
paddle down Washington Bay on behalf of the Bellehaven
Library relay race team. But before Helma has a chance to
test her aquatic talents, she is once again matching wits
with the local police over the identity of a killer. And
this time it involves keeping her somewhat flaky artist
friend, Ruth Winthrop, off Death Row.
When the flamboyant Ruth rejected the attention of a dirty
old man in a local bar, she never thought it would be to
put him off permanently. But when his body shows up just
outside her studio, the police consider her a prime
suspect. Helma knows for sure that Ruth is no killer, but
she didn't suspect that asking too many questions about
the life of the unsavory dead man would unearth some long-
buried scandals...and cause someone to want to close the
book on one inquisitive librarian.
