The Grelliers and the Schapens are two families who have been farming in the Kaw River Valley for over a hundred and fifty years, their lives connected through the generations by history and geography. Gina Haring, bringing with her the liberal air of the big city, moves into a dilapidated house near both families properties. Gina has secrets, her own reasons for being in the Kansas countryside, and they re not necessarily what the people around her imagine. Susan s involvement with her stirs up the wrath of the Schapen clan and has cataclysmic results for her own family.

Review:

Praise for Sara Paretsky's previous novel, Fire Sale

(: )

'She is writing with the kind of passion for social justice that inspired Chandler and Hammett'

(Joan Smith, Sunday Times )

'Paretsky always forces her readers to think. . . At its best, crime fiction illuminates the society we live in, and Sara Paretsky proves yet again that she is one of the genre's most significant practitioners.'

(Val McDermid, Independent )

'It's hard not to get caught up in her passion . . . Snappy dialogue, tight plotting and realistic situations make Paretsky's unapologetically politicised thrillers a pleasure to read, whatever your viewpoint.'

(Daily Mail ) --various
