Two lives, connected to their serene world, have been reaped in the most horrifying manner, sowing seeds of fear in everyone's heart. As the mystery grows as tall as a cornfield, one haunting detail stands out: each victim's front yard is adorned with a scarecrow, a silent, eerie sentinel.

Her quest leads her to a single suspect, but when the local detective brushes off her findings like chaff in the wind, Ettie decides to stand alone against the gale of doubt. In the face of danger, just how close can Ettie tread to the scarecrow slayer without finding herself under his ominous gaze? Is she about to make a blunder that could cost more than a bountiful harvest? Prepare for a story that's more chilling than a midnight encounter with a field of scarecrows.
