Originally intended as a serene vacation on the idyllic Cape Cod, just my dear brother and I, our plans took an unexpected turn when we stumbled upon a lifeless body in our rented house. This certainly disrupted our intentions of leisurely tanning. Matters escalate as a brusque and unrefined bounty hunter arrives on his motorcycle, determined to apprehend the perpetrator. Strangely enough, he remains skeptical about my potential assistance, despite my countless hours of dedicated true crime podcast consumption. And let’s not forget my rewarding profession of educating rambunctious second graders.
The team of a bold bounty hunter and a spirited elementary school teacher is hardly the investigative pair anyone requested. Nevertheless, due to relentless attempts on my life, we find ourselves bound together, regardless of challenges that arise.
My purpose here is purely professional—I’m not here to babysit an amateur detective. Although, I must admit, the inconvenience of her presence is gradually diminishing. She possesses a certain stubbornness and propensity for distraction, not to mention her uncanny ability to find trouble. However, she’s also courageous and captivating, evoking memories of the home I left behind three years ago. Essentially, the conflicting emotions of longing and protectiveness she stirs within me are jeopardizing my peace of mind. Prior to becoming further entangled in this perilous attraction, my priority is to resolve this murder and return to my nomadic existence. Nevertheless, could destiny intervene, snatching her away before I realize that my journey has been leading me to her all along?
