When a scholarship student is found hanging from the chapel bell tower at Margaret Barlow's alma mater, the amateur sleuth returns to the exclusive boarding school and plans an ingenious trap for the killer. Grandmotherly sleuth Margaret Barlow returns to the hallowed halls of her alma mater to solve the mystery of a young girl found hanged in the bell tower.

Margaret Barlow investigates a series of unfortunate incidents at L'Abbeye Ste. Denise, a 200-year-old winery nestled among the sprawling hills and vineyards of the magnificent Napa Valley.
