Dr. Andrew Fenimore, first introduced in the Malice Domestic Award-winner The Doctor Digs a Grave, is an old-fashioned doctor who is still willing to make house calls to his elderly patients. In his third adventure, a patient's call leads to more detective work than medical care.Lydia Ashley, owner of a large farm in southern New Jersey, is being systematically harassed by someone who wants her land. Dr. Fenimore can't leave his Philadelphia practice, so he sends his nurse, Mrs. Doyle, and his young assistant Horatio to try to stop the pranks, but the threats escalate. When Mrs. Doyle is kidnapped, Dr. Fenimore joins the hunt and learns that a hidden treasure is at the root of all the evil deeds.
