Two weeks before Christmas, Diana Duprey, an outspoken abortion doctor, is found dead in her swimming pool. A national figure, Diana inspired passion and ignited tempers, but never more so than the day of her death. Her husband Frank, a longtime attorney in the DAs office; her daughter Megan, a freshman in college; the Reverend Stephen OConnell, founder of the towns pro-life coalition: all of them quarreled with Diana that day and each one has something to lose in revealing the truth. Meanwhile the detective on the case struggles for the answers and finds himself more intimately involved than he ever could have imagined.From the Trade Paperback edition.
