Money is always a problem for Hera Knightsbridge’s
microbrewery, but now drought makes water scarce for all the
breweries in the Butternut Valley. Worse, Hera discovers a
rival brewer murdered in his brew barn, making Hera the
authorities’ favorite suspect. To clear her name, her only
choice is to join forces with an unlikely partner, the new
assistant deputy sheriff, Jake Ryan, her former lover from
law school days. There’s unfinished business between these
two, and it surfaces again and again as they pursue a killer
who finally turns on the indefatigable Hera as the next victim.
