Ruby Tucker makes a terrible mistake (embezzling from the provincial Law Society (!) that employs her).  Her new friends in the legal community drop her like a bad habit.  Only her disreputable family will take her calls – thanks but no thanks.

Bonnie settles her debt by selling her home and thus avoids prosecution.  But now she’s on the street.  There’s an old family place in Black Rock Bay, belonging to Get Aunt Deb, at the end of a long long road in the faraway outports of Newfoundland. It’s remote and minuscule and there’s fishing, but Ruby needs a place to hole up and try to redeem herself. Somehow. 

So, Black Rock Bay it is.  

Black Rock has 124 people.  But Ruby finds work in the nearest market town, population 2,500. Irony of ironies, the job is with the local detachment of the RCMP, taking calls, handling the front desk. Ruby tells the truth about her transgression but still gets the job. The officers in this detachment aren’t easily shocked.  

And it turns out Ruby’s good at detecting.  Call it native wit. Or a bit of a bent. She’s got it.
