Spring in Northwest Wisconsin arrives with disturbing events as cold as April snow. A disfigured corpse shows up in Pattison State Park and the Superior DCI Investigator is missing. As a result Agent Evan Wyatt is not only required to step in, he's also asked to bring his girlfriend, ex-reporter Bernice Hordstrom, with him, oddly enough by the governor himself. As Agent Wyatt sorts out the rats nest of political intrigue, Bernice gets to know the lovely ladies running the Blue Silo Bed & Breakfast, probably better than she should. Otherwise she wouldn't have to ask herself, "What are a couple of nice lesbian farmers doing with a huge bag of cash in their car?"
