Summary

The party girls of London are being targeted in a nefarious plot in the first Patrick Dawlish mystery from the Edgar Award–winning author.   For a big bruiser of a man, Patrick Dawlish is as nimble as can be when it comes to solving crime. And all of his physical and intellectual strength will be needed when his life takes a decidedly violent turn . . .   First, Dawlish realizes he’s being followed. Then, Diana Lefroy, heiress to millions, appeals to him for help. She’s being blackmailed by someone who has already killed two other local socialites whose deaths were ruled as suicides. After a good friend’s assault and a shooting, Dawlish is warned by Scotland Yard not to take matters into his own hands. The problem is, when Dawlish takes the reins, he gets results. And whoever is putting the fear of death into London’s most wealthy women is about to learn that lesson well.

    Before you come with me, away from Silver Hollow, away from The Union, and away from all that is safe and comfortable, take a moment to look around you. Know that just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there. 
Also remember I did as much research as I could going into this story and consulted a number of people and read expert materials on firearms, Antarctic research facilities, and botany. All mistakes are mine, and mine alone. All creative license taken on many items is all mine as well. 
Are you ready? Do you have a sweater? Bundle up, get cozy, and either read or listen to this tale of what is unseen in the cold and remote continent. Take my hand and squeeze it tight. I know the way out.

    The quiet time of year as settled over Whispering Pines. For months, Sheriff Jayne O’Shea had been looking forward to a little R&R but now she’s not so sure. What’s she supposed to do with herself? Take up knitting? 
When a brawl breaks out at the local pub during the Thanksgiving gathering, a patron is critically wounded. Not the kind of distraction Jayne was looking for. There’s a long list of suspects, but she’s fairly certain it was one of the vigilantes who came to save the village from “that lady sheriff who doesn’t know her job.” But it might be someone from the growing group of villagers who aren’t happy with their sheriff’s performance. Or maybe it's someone who's not even on her list. 
The one thing Jayne knows for sure is if she doesn’t get a handle on things, it could be time for her to turn in her badge.
