Becca Robbins is selling her farm-made jams and preserves at a county fair where business is not the only thing thatโs deadโฆ
The last person Becca expects to run into at the Swayton County Fall Festival is her ex-husband, Scott Triplett, whoโs operating a shooting gallery. Honesty was not always Scottโs policy, and their unexpected reunion is further complicated when the festival becomes a crime scene. On Beccaโs second day there, Ferris wheel operator Virgil Morrison is found hanging from his rickety ride, dead from a gunshot.
As Becca starts to notice Scott suspiciously sneaking around the fairgrounds, she begins to worry her ex may be involved in the murder. Then thereโs the shadow she sees in the creepy corn maze and rumors of a gypsy curseโnot to mention Virgilโs mysterious spider tattoo. Now Becca must search through a labyrinth of lies, secrets, and superstition to find a kernel of truthโฆbefore the killer starts stalking her.
