When Midge Marten and her fellow bird enthusiasts in the Lakewood Birding Club go birding in Chambers Creek Canyon in the South Puget Sound, they stumble across a body hidden in a shallow cave. Fearing her homeless son might be involved, Midge recruits the help of Wade Williams, a retired dentist, to discover the killer’s identity before the police arrest her son. Midge’s knowledge of Pacific Northwest birds and their habits eventually help her to solve the mystery.
