  John Openshaw tells Holmes that in 1883 his uncle died two months after receiving a letter inscribed "K.K.K." with five orange pips enclosed, and that in 1885 his father died soon after receiving a similar letter; now Openshaw himself has received such a letter. Holmes tells him to do as the letter asks and leave a diary page, which Holmes deduces is connected to the Ku Klux Klan, on the garden sundial. Openshaw is killed before he can do so, but Holmes discovers the killers have been travelling on a sailing ship, and sends the captain a letter with five orange pips. The ship is lost at sea.

  After years of turmoil, things are finally looking up for Columbus, Ohio, private eye Andy Hayes. As Sick to Death opens, Andy is relishing his new gig: a drama-free, family-friendly stint as a guard at the Columbus Museum of Art. What could be better than regular hours, a steady paycheck, and an attractive coworker who may be just as interested in him as he is in her? Right on schedule, Andy's newfound equilibrium comes crashing down when he interrupts the theft of a valuable painting—and is promptly fired for breaking protocols. Helping him thwart the robbers is a young woman whom Andy has caught staring at him several times. To his shock, she reveals she's an adult daughter he never knew he had. But Alex Rutledge, about to enter the Columbus Police Academy, isn't looking for family time. She wants to hire her newly discovered father to find the driver who killed her mother, Kate, five months earlier in a still unsolved hit-skip accident. Andy uncovers troubling details about Kate's death that point toward murder and an angry anti-vax sentiment roiling below the surface at the hospital where she worked. Complicating Andy's case, he finds himself in the crosshairs of an FBI investigation into the attempted art theft. With time running out and his and Alex's lives on the line, Andy rushes to defend his reputation as a private eye and find Kate's killer.

  But just like any other person in the city of Boston, I don't stand a chance against the leader of the Boston Wolfes. He's canny. Confident. A natural-born leader who controls the city, with endless green eyes that compel anyone to agree with his wishes in a heartbeat. Including me. 
   
   
   
  Now, I'm his new accountant and he's making it clear that's not all he wants. Now, I catch a weird feeling in my stomach when he walks into the office every morning, making me realize I don't just want to know everything there is about Franklin Wolfe. No, I'm falling for him. 
   
   
   
  But he's not the only one who has connections with the dark side of the city. I've got secrets. I have a past that haunts me with every step I take. I can't give in to whatever Franklin wants from me. Or what my heart wants. Not when there is so much more at risk. 
   
   
   
  All I can do is hope he doesn't find out. Oh, and that I don't end up like the accountant before me.
