Book synopsis

Love and betrayal take center stage as Jane Sweet becomes entangled with the kooky men in her life on the day of her mother's funeral. Jane's father, her three ex-husbands, Buddha, Blade and Salty, join Jane's current lover, Dick, and Ben Kola, successful Cape Scrod business man, America's Cup skipper and creep who forced himself on Jane when she was seventeen. Jane's long day is a minefield of bittersweet confrontations with her men and their eccentricities that is made even more compelling by the unexpected discovery of Ben Kola's body skewered to a tree by the shaft of a broken golf club. Redeeming and frightening, Kola's apparent murder propels Jane on a quest for the killer that reveals the meaning of truth and the lingering loyalties that exist among the eccentric Cape Scrod ghosts from her past.
