Mystery solving author Liz Holt is back. She’s called into action (by her own curiosity) when an archaeologist studying Spanish colonization of Florida is murdered. The local authorities like Birdman, the owner of the abutting property for the crime. Liz is friends with the elderly man and is sure he’s incapable of such an atrocity. She believes one of the other archaeologists in the group is a much more likely suspect and sets out to prove her theory. All the usual suspects are on board, Liz’s PI boyfriend and and two parrots provide both advice and comic relief.
