A contractor is found filleted in the frozen flounder section
of McCutty's Market with a cowberry necklace wound tightly about
his throat and a coded message pinned to his one good suit.
The rhyme-chanting killer challenges syndicated numerologist
Samantha Blackwell to a duel of the minds--decipher the code
before April Fool's Day or he will fillet again.
Working
feverishly, Sam meets the deadline and posts the deciphered code
on the market's bulletin board. All to no avail. The small hamlet
trembles as another citizen is filleted. A dead woman finally reveals
the startling truth, something that no one in town ever suspected.

A simple camping trip turns into
a nightmare when a dying man taps repetitively on the motor home
next to Samantha Blackwell. She is convinced that the tapping
is a coded message left by the victim.
When the local minister, who was
there when the crime occurred, pleads for her help, Sam disguises
herself as a biker mama and plunges into the depths of The Pigpen,
the most notorious bar in southern NH.
After hairy encounters with belligerent
bikers, she escapes the smoke filled region only to be chased
through the lonely back roads by a shadowy figure on a Harley.
As her speedometer hits seventy-five, she wonders if her curiosity
is finally going to be the end of her.
