Newest in series featuring Clare Ferguson and Russ Van Alstyne

On a frigid January night, Chief of Police Russ Van Alstyne and Rev Clare Ferguson are called to the scene of a raging fire. The extent of the tragedy isn't known until the next day, when the charred remains of a man and a woman are recovered---along with evidence showing they were shot execution style.

The last thing Russ needs needs are tow potential homicides. He's struggling with the prospect of impending fatherhood, and his new wife is not at all happy with his proposal for their long-delayed honeymoon: a week ice-fishing at a remote Adirondack lake.

St Alban's Church is still in turmoil over the Rev Clare Fergusson's news that she's five and a half months pregnant--but only two and a half months married. Worried her post-deployment drinking and drug use may have damaged the baby, she awaits the outcome of the bishop's investigation into her 'unpriestly' behavior: a scolding, censure, or permanent suspension.

Officer Hadley Knox is having a miserable January as well. Her on-again, off-again lover, Kevin Flynn, has seven days to weigh an offer from the Syracuse Police Dept. that might take him half a state away. And her ex-husband's in town--threatening to take custody of their kids unless Hadley pays him off with money she doesn't have.

When Hadley discovers that the dead couple fostered an eight year old girl who was a recent liver donee, the search for the killer takes on a new and terrible urgency. With no access to immunosuppressant drugs, transplant rejection will kill the girl in a matter of days.

A good fast paced read!
