A flood-endangered museum and a murder investigation

Set at Villa Louis State Historic Site in southwest Wisconsin, the story brings historic preservation into direct contact with a criminal investigation. Chloe arrives to help move artifacts from a fur-trade museum threatened by rising floodwaters, but the discovery of a body disrupts the rescue effort. Her husband, police sergeant Roelke McKenna, joins her as the danger extends beyond the collections to the people trying to save them. The historical setting, museum artifacts, flood response, and search for a killer form the book’s central strands.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical fiction set around museums and historic sites
  • Readers who enjoy mysteries that combine a murder investigation with a natural hazard
  • Readers interested in stories about artifact preservation and regional fur-trade history

Book overview

When a flood threatens vulnerable collections at Villa Louis State Historic Site, Chloe travels to southwest Wisconsin to help site staff haul endangered artifacts to higher ground. The elegant Villa Louis is not in danger, but a nearby museum dedicated to the region's fur trade history will certainly be submerged.

 

Before the work can begin, the discovery of a body in the Fur Trade Museum jeopardizes the artifact rescue plan. Chloe's worried husband, police sergeant Roelke McKenna, soon arrives to assist. As the floodwaters creep ever higher, he and Chloe realize that inexplicably, they have become targets themselves. Working together, they struggle to identify a killer...and stay alive.
