Death and the dogwalker

by Sheri S. Tepper

Jason Lynx is an antigues dealer who has a taste for solving puzzles more than the Sunday crossword. A startling discovery during an early morning walk with his dog catches Jason in a tangled web of intrigue and murder. The carefully posed body of a casual acquaintance, plus an unsolved murder from police records, begins to reveal a terrible secret that someone is willing to do anything to keep. The list of suspects and motives begins to narrow ominously as Jason's investigation exposes a raging storm of illicit passion, greed, betrayal and retribution that has disturbing relevance to his own life and threatens to draw him into its relentless spiral.
