Welston next the Sea has survived scandals before—but this time, the danger goes deeper.

When a drilling company rolls into town, the locals are told it’s just a test. But Susan Crow suspects otherwise. With redevelopment plans in motion and fierce debate over a proposed casino, Welston’s future hangs by a thread.
Then Morris Browning—retired journalist and resident troublemaker—is found murdered above his shop. Three townsfolk fall under suspicion, but Susan and her friends uncover a fourth lead: Urbana, the shadowy group behind the redevelopment, may have had good reason to want Morris dead.
As if that weren’t enough, a new arrival has Susan on edge. Petra Bianchi, an intern with the drill crew, has taken a curious interest in five-year-old Georgie Christie. But Petra isn’t who she claims to be—and the secret she’s hiding could put Georgie in danger.
To protect the people she cares about, Susan must solve a murder, defend Welston’s identity, and uncover why Petra is really in town… before the past drills its way back to the surface.

Meet more of Welston’s residents in this Crows’ Feat Mystery that’s packed with magic, murder, and buried secrets.
