Book Description
The ninth novel of Gail Bowen’s popular series finds Canada’s favourite amateur sleuth, Joanne Kilbourn, on holiday at a cottage borrowed from a lawyer friend, one of a cluster of summer homes owned by lawyers from the same prestigious firm. When one of them kills himself the night after a long talk with Joanne, she is pushed into investigating just what her neighbours are involved with, an investigation that has startling – and fatal – consequences. Bowen’s depiction of this community of lawyers, each in his or her way now divorced from the ideals of justice and mercy that once motivated them all, is both compassionate and hard-nosed. There is Zack, the charming but controlling paraplegic; Blake and Lily, whose daughter, Gracie, struggles to keep her dignity as her parents’ marriage falls apart; Noah, who would rather practise carpentry than the law, and his wife, Delia, who is consumed by worry about the firm. The mounting stress among these lawyers is palpable as Joanne delves into their lives. And Joanne faces her own personal anxieties too when she discovers that her former lover, Inspector Alex Kequahtooway, is mixed up in what seems to be some very sordid legal business.

Ten years ago, seven-year-old Samantha and her next door neighbor Remy watched helplessly as Sam's little sister was kidnapped. Later, Remy and Sam identified the man and he was sent to prison. Now, Sam's shattered family is returning to her childhood home in an effort to heal. As long-buried memories begin to surface, she and Remy wonder what they really saw. The more they re-examine the events of that fateful night, the more questions they have about what happened to Turtle . . . and they become more certain that Turtle's killer is still out there, hidden amongst the members of their tight-knit community.

Book Description
"Joanne's vacation in Lawyer's Bay is brought to an abrupt end when a car plunges into the lake on a summer night. At the wheel was Chris Altieri, a young lawyer who had, only hours before, begun to tell Joanne of a disturbing secret. Saddened by the death of this young man, Joanne begins asking his friends why he would do such a thing. But the group of powerful lawyers--the self-named 'Winners' Circle'--who summer together in the gated enclave begin to close ranks and the strangeness grows when Joanne's former lover, Inspector Kequahtooway, arrives. Why would the police need to investigate what appears to be an obvious suicide? Joanne's instincts tell her that something is terribly wrong; to find out anything more, she must tread lightly around some very powerful--and possibly dangerous--people."--P. [4] of cover.
