The year is 1873 when on a late October night, Grace Wickham is called to an accident at the local tannery. Recently returned from a year of medical school, Miss Wickham is the person people turn to as they once did her late father, the local doctor. The body floating in a steaming tannery vat is the owner, Truman Reed, and the men who rush to answer the emergency bell each have reason to wish him dead.

The Adirondacks in 1874 is a harsh land of rugged landscape and hard-scrabble living where each spring. As the annual drive is ready to start, Miss Grace Wickham, herbal healer and amateur sleuth, is traveling home on the new Adirondack Railway. On the train she meets and befriends young Jenny Crane. Jenny's brother wrote her that logging wasn't for him. Now he's missing, and she's on a quest to find him. Grace Wickham, the only doctor in the small town of Wevertown, NY, finds herself in the midst of murder again.
