She has always said if she was running, it's because she was being chased. That's never been more true.

It's Autumn, bookstore owner Harvey Beckett's favorite time of year, and she's most excited about two things - her bookshop's float in the annual Harvest Parade and pumpkin everything. But when her best friend Mart finds the body of her running coach and high school gym teacher behind the bleachers one fall morning, Harvey becomes enthralled in a mystery that uncovers their quaint town's darkest secrets.

When Harvey's curiosity gets the best of her, she and her pup Mayhem find that maybe there are just some secrets better left undiscovered.
