Summary
They're an unlikely couple: Lucky Smith, passionate environmentalist, and Paul Keller, chief constable of Trafalgar, British Columbia. Their weekend getaway to a castle in the Rocky Mountains is a chance to explore their fledgling late-in-life relationship. But trouble interferes when… Lucky, too stubborn for her own good, stands up to two bullies in a local coffee shop. To his horror, Paul recognizes one of the men as his estranged son, Matt. Early the next morning, a frantic Matt calls his father for help. Lucky and Paul arrive to find a body--but no Matt. Matt is an experienced wilderness adventurer, and all signs indicate that he has escaped into the backcountry. To Sergeant Eddie Blechta of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, running is all the proof of guilt he needs. Lucky's daughter, Constable Molly Smith, abandons her chaotic Thanksgiving kitchen to offer her mom support. She has no intention of meddling in the investigation, but when Matt's girlfriend asks for her help, Molly finds herself not only interfering but putting herself on the wrong side of Edward Blechta. Sequel to "A cold white sun", followed by "Unreasonable doubt". 2014.
