In this intense sequel to Gypsy Summer, Katie is hit between the eyes with a glaring mystery. Money is missing from the church Harvest Dinner fund-raiser and the police have a likely suspect. But who really did it? Everywhere she turns, Katie grows more and more on edge. Even those closest to her are making her suspicious.
