What’s Past Is Prologue - A Joanne Kilbourn Mystery

Gail Bowen

Sinopse

From Arthur Ellis Award–winning Grand Master of Crime Writers comes the newest installment in the Joanne Kilbourn series
		 
When Libby Hogarth, the go-to lawyer for the rich or famous who have committed heinous crimes, comes to Regina to deliver the prestigious Mellohawk Lecture, she is met with a torrent of hostility and misinformation. Libby Hogarth had successfully defended Jared Delio, a wildly popular national radio host, against charges of sexual abuse brought against him by three Regina women. Her no-holds-barred cross-examination of the women stirred up a rage that still smolders.
		 
Zack and Joanne Shreve’s commitment to protect Libby goes beyond the fact that in defending Delio, Libby had simply applied the principles at the root of the justice system. Zack and Libby share a history. They were the last two students to article with Fred C. Harney, a brilliant alcoholic lawyer who changed both their lives. Sawyer MacLeish, Libby’s associate, was like a much-loved third son to Joanne when he was growing up, and she fears that Sawyer will suffer collateral damage from any attack on Libby.
		 
Joanne’s fears are not groundless, and when the inevitable happens, Joanne, Zack, and their extended family must pick up the pieces.

Agent for Sabrina An

Patricia PacJac Carroll

Sabrina is running from her past. He is running from his future. Sabrina Jones never expected to be set free from her life as a saloon girl. Thanks to a gift from Rand Ketcham, a notorious bounty hunter, she was able to leave her old life in the saloons. Colorado was where she wanted to go. What to do was still a mystery until she reached Denver and saw an ad in the paper for women to apply as Pinkerton agents. She figured she’d be good. All those years in the saloon had taught her how to read people. That ought to come in handy as a detective. 
Tom Wesley liked the free, wild life. He was a Pinkerton agent and good at it. Not many would challenge his gun or fist. Only his father, Preacher Jacob Wesley, was a strict man. Tom had left because of his rules. But the old man still had strings attached to him. Growing up under the Word of the Lord to obey your father was glued to Tom’s soul. So far, he hadn’t outrun them, though he’d tried awfully hard. He had until he was thirty. At least, that was what his father had told him. Tom tried to duck the words, but they haunted him. Then again, he was only twenty-nine. When their lives collide, Tom and Sabrina are thrown together in a case that will test them both.
