Accepting the job as Police Chief of Peekamoose Heights, in New York's Catskills, he figures it will be sort of like running a country club. After all, how much crime can there be in a quiet, little village? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMcAvoy soon discovers that his skills as a homicide detective will not atrophy from lack of use in Peekamoose Heights. Murder, as it turns out, is an equal-opportunity crime that not only resides in large bustling cities like Detroit, but in sleepy Catskill villages like Peekamoose Heights as well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBut Now I See\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, the eighth Ed McAvoy Mystery, Porky Jarvis, co-owner of The Plough \u0026amp; Whistle Pub in Peekamoose Heights, has been selected as one of the guest chefs for the 'Gastronomy and Great Estates on the Hudson' tour-a nine-day roundtrip cruise from New York City to Kinderhook to visit the historic mansions that dot the Hudson River shoreline, sandwiched between two two-day sightseeing excursions in Manhattan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFiguring that he has earned a long overdue vacation, McAvoy signs up for the tour along with Porky's sister, Stevie Henderson, even though, due to a previous commitment on Porky's part, Porky and Stevie, and therefore McAvoy will have to leave the tour after dinner on Day #5. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough not bringing his firearm with him, it's a good thing the Peekamoose Heights Chief of Police didn't forget to pack his investigative skills. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen one of the members of the tour group is murdered, the Ulster County Sheriff tasks the former Detroit Police Force Homicide Captain with discovering who did it.
