Crossbow. Quirky, even for Asheville. A new cop, Dinah, arrives to assist. Smart, athletic and absolutely fearless, Segal is impressed and welcomes her to the team. Segal’s life gets complicated. The victim was the brother of North Carolina’s first lady. Segal can’t decide if she is sincere or devious, but he can’t deny a powerful attraction. A second murder is discovered. Different part of town, different weapon, but none-the-less related to the first. Possible serial killer? The investigation leads Segal’s team through more twists and turns than the mountain roads around the city. From fifteenth century art, to Romeo and Juliet, shady real estate deals to crooked politicians and amateur militia of gun-worshiping louts, will the team be able to crack this case before disaster at the Renaissance fair?
