Suspense
In the summer of 1916, a big twister brings destruction to
the land around Boynton OK. Alafair Tucker’s family and
neighbors are not spared the ruin and grief spread by the
storm. But no one is going to mourn for Jubal Beldon, who
made it his business to know the ugly secrets of everyone in
town. It doesn’t matter if Jubal’s insinuations are true or
not. In a small town like Boynton, rumor is as damaging as fact. But as Mr. Lee the undertaker does his grim duty for the
storm victims, he discovers that even in death Jubal isn’t
going to leave his neighbors in peace. He was already dead
when the tornado carried his body to the middle of a fallow
field. Had he died in an accident or had he been murdered by
someone whose secret he had threatened to expose? There are
dozens of people who would have been happy to do the deed,
including members of Jubal’s own family. As Sheriff Scott Tucker and his deputy Trenton Calder look
into the circumstances surrounding Jubal’s demise, it begins
to look like the prime suspect may be someone very dear to
the widow Beckie MacKenzie, the beloved music teacher and
mentor of Alafair’s daughter Ruth. Ruth fears that the
secrets exposed by the investigation are going to cause more
damage to her friend’s life than the tornado. Alafair has
her own suspicions about how Jubal Beldon came to die, and
the reason may hit very close to home.
