The stolen pieces—a valuable Winslow Homer seascape, a Civil War-era portrait, and a rare botanical illustration—weren''t random targets. As Mabel digs deeper, she uncovers a network of art dealers, insurance adjusters, and society members who all had reasons to want those specific paintings to disappear.

The Silver Sleuths think they''re hunting for stolen art. What they don''t realize is that the art thief has been hunting them. With Bea wielding a magnifying glass like a weapon and Sheriff Dash ready to lock Mabel in protective custody, the race is on to catch a killer who''s turned murder into their own twisted masterpiece. Because on Grimm Island, some secrets are more dangerous than hurricanes—and this one is about to make landfall.

Let sleeping dogs lie. If only that were the case throughout Bell County, Texas, things would’ve returned to the serenity that once defined it. A quiet, and peaceful place was what Hank Davidson wanted as his retirement home. After a high-risk, violent career as an FBI-trained serial killer detective, crime was the last thing Hank wanted. He also had no intention to fall in love, but crime also played a part in that, or at least solving crime did. Bell County’s numerous historic cemeteries were once revered for honoring the heroic sacrifices of it’s citizens and soldiers. The recent rash of grave robbing has led Agatha Harley to suspect something more sinister is afoot. She must convince a very skeptical Sheriff Reggie Coil that it’s more than high school vandals. Enlisting the help of her partner in crime-solving and love, Hank Davidson, would give her the leverage to dig deeper into the series of casket breeches, and help convince Coil that his precious Bell County was once again under attack by the same criminals that brought she and Hank together.

Today is the big day. Hank Davidson is finally going to ask Agatha Harley to marry him. He’s a big tough guy, but his heart has melted for her since they first began solving mysteries together. He’s got it all together. The right place, the right time, the right words, and the right ring. Sometimes what we think is right for today gets derailed by what was wrong in the past. Is Hank hiding something from his beloved Agatha, or is there yet another mystery to be solved before either can say, “I do.” If we’ve learned anything about this couple, it’s that neither ever gives up on victims, justice or each other. Will wedding bells ever ring in Bell County? That depends on old-school Wild West justice, and big city FBI training to save the day as well as Agatha and Hank.

Hank isn''t sure he believes this is a serial killer. Despite Agatha''s insistence, he knows serial killers aren''t as common as she''d like them to be for her research. Maybe deadline enthusiasm is making Agatha see this as more than it is. But Agatha knows her way around bodies, and the dead Santa''s have too much in common not to be connected. Her real-world training as a forensic anthropologist pays off as she matches wits with law enforcement''s best, and a deviant killer''s worst.

All the clues lead to those at the top, but money and power make it easy to get away with murder. Cracking this case won''t be easy, but Hank and Agatha are on the job. After all, solving a crime is much easier than meeting a deadline or being retired.
