Some Like it Hawk

At the Caerphilly Days festival, blacksmith Meg Langslow discovers a brewing crisis as town clerk Phineas Throckmorton has been trapped in the courthouse basement for over a year, evading eviction amidst the town's financial turmoil. Tensions escalate when a lender's executive is found shot, seemingly from within the basement, leading to suspicions that Throckmorton is being framed. As Meg dives deeper into the investigation, she realizes the stakes are higher than just freeing Throckmorton; someone's sinister motive seeks to keep vital information hidden that could help the town reclaim its lost public buildings.
