Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now and he owes them loyalty, but his fiancee Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakelty's tangles. As the feud becomes more vicious, their settled peace starts to crack apart. And when they uncover a scheme that casts a new light on Rachel's death and threatens the whole village, they find themselves in the firing line. “Crime fiction's biggest contemporary star.” – Guardian.
