After she steps inside to get him a drink, she's shocked to discover that he's been murdered on her deck in the few minutes she left him alone. Heather Harrison, Todd's widow, intends to use her husband's tragic death to launch her candidacy for state senator and her first order of business is to go after the local police force -- and Lucy herself.
