Nestled in Puget Sound, Whidbey Island is definitely a gem from the Pacific Northwest. Accessible only by ferry, it really is known because of its creative communities and amazing natural beauty. Life there is low-key, as well as the island’s year-round citizens tend to know one another’s business. But when the blood-drenched body of Russel Douglas was uncovered the day after Xmas in his SUV in a hidden driveway near Whidbey’s most special mansion-a solitary bullet between his eyes-the entire island was surprised. At first, law enforcement suspected suicide, tragically common in the elevation of the vacation season. However when they found no weapon in or near the SUV, Russel’s manner of loss of life became homicide.

Married 3 x, hers is normally a rags-to-riches-and-back-again tale where she’s performed many assignments, from airplane mechanic to “drop-dead beautiful” beauty queen being a previous Ms. Washington. However in 2003, her love affair with married guitarist Jim Huden led both Whidbey Isle natives to go after their best dreams of prosperity and privilege-even at the expense of human life.
