Henry Kennis, Nantucket island's poetry-writing police chief works a second challenging case in Nantucket Five-spot. At the height of the summer tourist season, a threat to bomb the annual Boston Pops Concert could destroy the island's economy, along with its cachet as a safe haven for America's ruling class. The threat of terrorism brings The Department of Homeland Security to the island, along Henry's lost love, who works for the DHS. The 'terrorism' aspects of the attack prove to be a red herring. The truth lies much closer to home. Henry's investigation uncovers a crime rooted in the quiet poisonous feuds of small town life. Henry traces the origin of the attacks back almost twenty years and uncovers a revenge conspiracy that he must unravel-alone, discredited and on the run-before further disaster strikes.
