<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Her stepdaughter lies near death, and her husband is in jail for killing a man. Meg Harris is convinced that the two crimes are linked, and not in the way police believe.

Expecting to find Eric shouting his innocence, she instead finds him cowed and willing to do hard time. But Meg doesn't believe he's guilty.<br/><br/> Convinced that there's more to the murder victim -- and the attack on her stepdaughter -- than the police think, Meg finds herself on a sordid trail of family secrets and greed, hoping she can prove her husband's innocence. Fragments of an ancient embroidery lead her to a remote Dene hunting camp, where all is not what it seems.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A great read.
