In June, 1943, confirmed bachelor, loner, State Department agent, Carson Grey, no sooner returns from an assignment in Europe, when he is given another at a newly constructed ammunitions plant in an expanding rural community in southern Wisconsin. The body of Peter Franke was found on the property of the plant. Franke, a colleague/rival of Carson's, was sent to work at the plant undercover as a Land Negotiator. His job was to acquire land from area farmers for the plant to be built, but along the way he also acquired dozens of enemies from his heavy handed methods of removing farmers and other abuses of power. Local Sheriff, Ben Lyman, a widowed, single dad, tries to help Carson, but his burgeoning community, lack of resources, and family obligations tie up most of his time. Ben's suggestion to Carson to begin the investigation at the plant brings Carson an unexpected surprise. SHE is also working there. SHE is Laura Bradshaw, the love of his life who left him for Peter and has a secret no one can know. Her abrupt departure from work on the day Peter's body was discovered, and unwillingness to say why she left work only heightens her profile as a prime suspect. Carson has to come to terms with his conflicting feeling about Laura and her possible involvement with Peter's death. When attempts to derail Carson from finding out the truth start happening, he is more motivated to find answers and reasons for Peter's death. Carson's biggest puzzle is trying to find out the identity of the person who stays in the shadows and is always one step ahead of him and the law. The stranger's arrival to the community is suspect, especially since he seems to know recent local events. He doesn't allow anyone to clearly see his face and he goes out of his way to imitate Carson's life. Who is he? What does he have against Carson? Why is Laura so resistant to cooperate with the investigation? What is she hiding? Or, did the farmers hate Peter enough to kill him? Unless Carson is able to peel away the many layers of subterfuge, Peter's killer may very well get away with murder.

You don't have a lot of time. The time you do have, you certainly don't want to spend it all on cleaning. Sometimes it seems pointless anyway, right? How long does it really stay that way? While it may all seem in vain, we do want a clean house; for our sanity and for sanitary reasons. What if I told you that you can have a clean house in minutes a day? "This is awesome! I will need a copy or 2! We cleaned my son's room from top to bottom and now he is almost obsessive about keeping it that way. " -Leigh Ann "I just wanted to let you know of something else I've gotten out of your book. This one, I never heard before and I used it yesterday! I put my pillow cases facing inward so the outward edges look smooth. I LOVE it! I never even thought of that before! I always put the ends facing out because of the "pretty" pattern on the end of them, but it looks really nice with the closed edges out! Thanks so much! Also, I keep finding myself saying, "OK, you have five minutes, what can you do?" I've always said in the past "I've only got five minutes, so I don't have time!" You changed my entire view there! You can do A LOT in just five minutes! Thanks Julie for allowing me to read the book! It's a great book and I only wish I would have had it when I first got married, 21 years ago!" -Tracy
