Summary

400 years after the "first Thanksgiving," a luncheon for leaders of GreenHome LLC and the Wampanoag tribe ends in murder. Or does it?

In the seaside village of Quansett, untangling a violent crime takes collaboration. Detective Pete Altman wonders: Why did the killer cut upthe victim's scalp? Soup-chef Lydia Vivaldi and Wampanoag pastry chef Mudge Miles wonder: Is someone trying to frame the Indians?
