Synopsis

Moira Earthrowls, a Vermont orchard owner, desperately needs the help of her mystery-solving neighbor, farmer Ruth Willmarth, when a series of problems, including poisoned fruit, threats from a local cult, and vandalized trees, strike her farm. Reprint.

From the Back Cover

MORE THAN JUST SOUR GRAPES

The pastoral beauty and joy of running an apple orchard in Vermont offers Moira and Stan Earthrowl a chance to heal after tragedy shattered their lives. Yet their newfound idyll is short-lived as "accidents" begin to plague the massive orchard: trees are mysteriously felled, tractor brakes fail, apples are poisoned.

A desperate Moira turns to neighbor and dairy farm owner Ruth Willmarth for help. Ruth's investigation reveals a link between the hit-and-run death of a local woman and the farm's strange events. Soon a list of possible saboteurs emerges, including a fanatical religious cult and a savvy land developer who, ironically, happens to be Ruth's ex-husband. But deadly warnings make it clear to Ruth that she is not immune to the encroaching danger -- or the relentlessness of a vengeful killer.
