When a local waitress is found dead on the beach and a mysterious deposit appears in Zee's bank account, Martha's Vineyard proves to be all but the simple, scenic life Jeff Jackson was after.Jeff's reputation for "unofficially" solving the island's most dangerous crimes is growing. When Katie, a young waitress, finds herself way in over her head with the wrong people, she shows up seeking his help. Jeff urges her to go directly to the police but she's too scared to follow through. When Katie sadly turns up dead - murdered by poison - Jeff wonders if he could have helped her and the crime becomes personal for him. Teamed up with Zee, he must unravel the dangerous plot Katie had tried to warn him about to catch her killer. The shocking case leaves Jeff and Zee little time to discuss the kiss they had shared in Boston and what it means for their relationship. Meanwhile, the mystery back in Boston deepens when Jeff and Andy seem close to catching the person who shot Jeff, until an FBI agent shows up and takes over, shutting them out.�Crown MediaOut for a walk along the waterfront during their first official date, Jeff and Zee come across what appears at first glance to be a young woman in distress - her body steps away from her still running moped - but who Zee confirms is already deceased, what on the surface appears to be a possible heart attack. Jeff recognizes her as Katie Leonard, a waitress at the Beach House Restaurant, she, in seeing his name in the media as a consultant to Vineyard PD, who approached him earlier that day in asking for help concerning an undisclosed matter she implying of a criminal nature which she got involved in and was now in above her head, Jeff in turn telling her to go to the police which she never ended up doing. In conducting the autopsy, Zee discovers that Katie was poisoned, turning the investigation into a probable murder. Two quick suspects are Glen Eads, her ex-con ex-boyfriend who until recently also worked at the restaurant, and retired Greek philosophy professor turned horticulturalist Marty Cline, who Katie assisted on the side, both men who Jeff and Zee know are hiding something upon questioning. Making the situation more complex is that Jeff and Zee know that the murder has something to do with an approximate $100,000 positive discrepancy in Zee's account at the Vineyard Island Bank, a family owned and run business now led by Lauren Cabot, her brother, Noah Cabot who owns the Beach House. On the personal side, Zee wants to take things slow with Jeff due to his closed nature, while Jeff additionally learns second-hand from Jackie that his former colleagues at the Boston PD may have a lead on the incident that led to his shooting, such information which has not been relayed to him directly from them.�HuggoEarly-retired Boston PD detective Jeff Jackson is approached by young waitress Katie Leonard, seeking help with unspecified illegal business, so tells her to deal with it, preferably coming clean to Martha's Vineyard police chief Madieras, but she chickens out. On date walk with chief's daughter and local pathologist Dr. Zee, having caught his fish catch for her, Jeff finds her abandoned scooter and backpack, she Katie's corpse, autopsy-diagnosed poisoned with a local plant, as turns out mixed into her self-brewed daily "kombucha" tea. Her ex-con former boyfriend Glen Eads, with a long record, goes missing after an interview but is later found shot dead at home. The case keeps linking with $100,000 Zee found erroneously on her account at the local bank, which is run by Lauren Cabot, who inherited it alone, her brother Noah only a restaurant, where Katie worked. The money came from a bogus company, with a surprising fake contact person, to launder gambling profits, traced to another fake identity entrepreneur. Meanwhile Jesse gets ever more suspicious about his former Boston PD partner Andy Lau, why seems to counter his involvement in their old case which went bad, but is take over by the FBI after they manage to arrest armed fiend Keith McDonough the hard way.�KGF Vissers
