Quilter Martha Rose must patch together the clues to solve the murder of a cult leader in the California mountains . . .

Has Martha's fellow quilter and dear friend Birdie Watson become unraveled? Birdie and her new husband have decided to join the Mystical Feather Society, a spiritist group living on a commune in the mountains of Ojai, California. Before her free-spirited friend makes a huge mistake, Martha organizes a surprise visit to check out the commune. While white-robed members conduct a seanc in a glass yurt, their leader--Royal St. Germain--is nowhere to be found . . . until, that is, Martha and her friends discover him shot in their Winnebago. Now Martha must track down the killer and debunk the cult--before it's bye bye Birdie . . .
