"Mystery writer Madaline Ascot has just completed her latest work of fiction when events in her own life send her into a realm of a different type of mystery. While attempting to indulge herself in some much needed relaxation, the news of the sudden horrifying death of an old friend and boss sails to her ears from the television set. Peter Collins, the owner of the M.P. Collins Aquarium, has been brutally attacked by a tiger shark housed in the facility.
As a former employee of the facility and distraught by Peter's death, Madaline volunteers her services to help get the facility back to par. But when she discovers a bloody knife in the top of a trashcan in the room where Peter died the accidental death theory is blown to smithereens."
