The Adirondacks in 1874 is a harsh land of rugged landscape and hard-scrabble living where each spring local men seek jobs bringing logs to market on the wild white-waters of the Hudson River... Grace Wickham, the only doctor in the small town of Wevertown, NY, finds herself in the midst of murder again. Jenny Crane, who came to town to find her missing brother, is murdered. Grace is determined to find Jenny's killer, a challenge since the town's usually small population has swelled due to the annual log drive on the Hudson River. -- dust jacket.
