Another Winner for Bowen

Gail Bowen, one of Canada's premier crime novelists, adds another gem to the star-studded Joanne Kilbourn series. This time the feisty Saskatchewan reporter from Regina finds herself in the middle of a controversy with a local Conservative MP whose estranged husband has turned up dead at election time. Ginny Monaghan herself is at the centre of innuendos about her recent sexual escapades. The death of a high-priced call girl shocks this prairie city and reveals tangled roots. Who's on her extensive client list? With common sense and uncommon Canadian elan, Joanne juggles both family troubles and a new marriage with high-power lawyer Zack Shreve, a man whose wheelchair is a chariot of power.
