OverviewThe Fisks' weekend party, a sleep-over for select couples, remains the talk of Newbury, Connecticut, long after Reg Hopkins' body turned up in an isolated covered bridge. It appears Reg may have paid the party a fleeting visit-before dying in a way everyone swears was impossible. So Realtor Ben Abbott takes up the matter with a hometown cast of friends, foes, and family-including his ninety-year-old Aunt Connie, the rising politician and his sometime lover Vicky McLachlan, the comely and ambitious State Police Detective Marian Boyce, and a pair of deadly housebreakers. Soon everybody's getting kicks they never bargained for. Praise for StoneDust...
