May DayMay Day

"The not-so-proud owner of a dead-end job and a cheating boyfriend, Minneapolitan Mira James jumps at the chance for a fresh start in rural Battle Lake. She almost immediately lands two part-time jobs in her new town, one at the library and another at the local newspaper. When her jobs bring her in contact with Jeff, the ultimate sexy nerd, she starts to wonder if she's finally made a good decision. And then Jeff turns up dead between the library's reference stacks. Anxious to learn more about the man who briefly stole her heart, Mira delves into the mysteries of Battle Lake, including an old land deed obscuring ancient Ojibwe secrets, an octogenarian crowd with freaky social lives, and a handful of thirty-something high school buddies who hold bitter, decades-old grudges. Mira soon discovers that unknown dangers are concealed under the polite exterior of this quirky town, and revenge is a hotdish best served cold."--Page 4 of cover.
