Paul is a hard-working private investigator, whose daughter Lynne has been harassing him about his need for a break from bloodshed. He plans a peaceful fishing getaway in Ketchmnan Springs, and he'll stay with his daughter's godparents, Bill and Jean. When he arrives, however, he finds a terrible tragedy. Bill and Jean have been executed, shot dead. There's soon a third murder, as well. The crime scenes are all identical-each lacking in any physical evidence-except for a golden German luger left behind. While dealing with his personal tragedy, Paul is left wondering; what's the motive? Inconceivably, amidst all the mayhem, Paul ends up falling in love while trying to keep his daughter safe. He soon comes to believe there might be more than one murderer responsible for the mysterious deaths in this peaceful lakeside community. Will he be able to use his crime-solving expertise to catch the bad guys before they kill again?
