The author effectively integrates an engrossing whodunit within a social commentary on small town life. The contrast between the peaceful, seemingly idyllic community of Trafalgar and big money land development, drug trade, and murder form the foundation for this riveting mystery. The connections between these are not clear, but one thing is certain: a baby boy is their only clue. How can they find the girl's family if they cannot identify her? Winters and Smith make tentative links to a psychologist who worked with Ashley to help her kick her drug habit but who suddenly denies having seen her recently, and a number of people associated with the development of a huge resort that may endanger the habitat of some local wildlife species.

No one else in the small village will even admit remembering talking to her. She tells Winters and Smith Ashley had never revealed her last name. Only the dead woman's roommate can actually identify her, but by her first name only - Ashley. And most puzzling of all, she had never given birth. The autopsy reveals that she had indeed overdosed but there were also restraint marks on her wrists indicating that she may have been murdered.
