When Aggie Pennington-Brown mysteriously disappears on the same day the Cedar Chapel bank is robbed, the sheriff assumes she was kidnapped by the robbers, and the whole town seems to agree. Victoria Storm, owner of Cedar Lodge Boarding House and her elderly boarders reluctantly come to the same conclusion. But when secrets from their missing friend's past begin to unfold, a horrible possibility arises. Could someone they know and love have harmed Miss Aggie? Could it be one of them? As Victoria and her elderly friends attempt to solve the mystery and locate Miss Aggie, more secrets are revealed until Victoria begins to wonder if there is anyone she can trust.

Oh, no, Miss Aggie. Not again! It’s been six months since Miss Aggie’s first misadventure, and now a man’s dead body turns up in a secret tunnel at Pennington House. Miss Aggie skedaddles off to Jefferson City to her nephew Simon’s house, leaving Victoria and the rest of the seniors with another mystery to solve. In the middle of their sleuthing, Phoebe Collin’s mysterious Uncle Jack appears, regaling them with tales of his adventures in the import/export business in Germany. But he seems a little too suave for Victoria, and his stories leave questions that make her wonder. Could his activities during World War II have been illegal? And could he have something to do with the body in the tunnel? To add to her confusion, a handsome stranger arrives in Cedar Chapel, making Victoria’s heart flutter and causing her to doubt her relationship with Benjamin Grant. After a frightening trek through one of the tunnels at Pennington House, Victoria and her elderly friends, uncover yet another mystery. One that puts terror in their hearts.

Ride along on a hair-raising adventure with Victoria Storm and her cohorts as they comb Cedar Chapel for clues to a murder.

As they begin to uncover evidence, things go from bad to worse and their friend Miss Aggie disappears, leaving her blood-stained clothing behind. Will Victoria catch the killer or be the next victim?
