A Vashon Island Mystery: An ancient bog hidden in a forest is the perfect backdrop for murder . . .

Vashon Island has been described as Mayberry-meets-Burning Man. Lavender (Lew) Lewis moves there because it is only a twenty-minute ferry ride from Seattle, yet light years away in tempo and character. She grew up on a commune in Alaska, joined the army at 17, does woods parkour for exercise and HR investigations to earn a living. Life in her waterfront cabin with her two food-obsessed cats is relatively stress free . . . until she leads a tour group into an ancient bog and finds a hand poking up from a pond.
