A dangerous undercover assignment nearly puts Dion in his grave.

North Vancouver RCMP constables Leith and Dion have several mysteries to solve in the optimistic spring sunshine, starting with who has skewered the annoying Lawrence Follick to his own lawn, up in the heights of Lost Pony Road. Could it be the irate next-door neighbours, who openly disagree with Follick's landscaping aesthetics? Or a random attack?

The murders don't end with Follick, though, promising a grim reckoning if the killer isn't roped in soon.

Meanwhile, Dion becomes ensnarled in a mystery of his own -- he's involved with a magician who has made herself disappear. Putting aside his worry, he takes on an undercover role in order to finally nab the Lost Pony Road killer. Can he lure the perpetrator into another attack, and live to tell about it?
