AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Debate rages when Trevor Lamb, convicted five years ago for the brutal murder of his wife, is released with a pardon. Passions run high, especially in Hope's End, the tiny rural backwater that is home to the notorious Lamb clan. When, twenty-four hours after his release, Trevor Lamb is found dead in his hometown shack, the police think it's an open and shut case. Privately, some think it's no more than Lamb deserved. But then matters take a shocking twist and private investigator Verity Birdwood finds herself compelled to uncover the truth. (Source: back cover, 1996 edition)
