Praise for Scone Island..."All the fast-paced action and danger readers have come to expect." -Kirkus Reviews "Surefooted prose speeds this well-told tale of greed and betrayal among the nation's covert elite. Ruth and Ike's intellectual bickering will amuse literary and history buffs." -Publishers Weekly Ike Schwartz, Sheriff of Picketsville, Virginia, and his fiancee Ruth Dennis, the President of a local university, seek asylum from a trying year of academic and local politics on Scone Island, four miles off the coast of Maine.

The suspicious accident that resulted in the death of the mysterious Harmon Staley should not concern them at all. And it doesn't.
