A large drone had flown over the property discarding mollusk shells all over the backyard. Was it an accident An ill-fated prank by neighbors up in arms about a rental house in their cul-de-sac Witnesses clam up when Molly's ex, homicide detective Barry Greenberg, tries to get information, but he thinks Molly may be able to get them to open up to her.
