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.

Dr. Josie Harjo is ready for a break in the endless parade of dead bodies. The small college town of Stillwater has emptied for the winter holiday. There’s only a skeleton crew at the lab, and the steady stream of carcasses has slowed to a trickle. Josie expects it’ll be a nice respite after a few hectic months, so she doesn’t mind being at the lab despite her creepy coworker, Gerald, lurking in the halls. Anticipating a light caseload, she plans on spending her free time helping her friend, Laila, dodge the machinations of her overbearing parents. The week kicks off with a seemingly routine necropsy. Josie goes through the motions and doesn’t think much of it. Then, just as a nasty blizzard sweeps in, a second case from the same farm squeezes through the doors. At the sight of an entire litter of dead piglets, Josie quickly realizes something serious is unfolding, and the sudden lab closure only worsens the situation. Dead bodies pile up along with the snow as the drama outside of work continues to pull her focus. With so many things standing in her way, will Josie figure out what’s killing the pigs before the entire farm is lost?
