Accidents keep happening at the mountain bed and breakfast where 14-year-old Emily Sanders is working with her friend, Mary. A broken step, a stinky septic tank, an invasion of bees, and even a fire threaten the livelihood of the innkeeper, Mary’s grandmother. Emily suspects foul play, but only when a crashed van links drugs to the inn do her friends start to help her investigate. Soon Emily, Mary, and neighbor boy named Alex are over their heads in danger.
