It begins with an abandoned bird's nest; a nest made of hair -- human hair. Who is the victim? And what was the cause of death?

Unexplained death. Ghastly murder. Searching for the truth takes Joe from Brattleboro's lowlife to its wealthiest citizens and into a maelstrom of corporate greed, personal betrayal, blackmail, and homicide.
