In the Bleak Midwinter

Clare Fergusson and Russ Van Alstyne · Book 1

Description

In the small town of Millers Kill, the death of a young Army specialist is ruled a suicide—but newly ordained Episcopal priest Clare Fergusson refuses to accept that conclusion. Her questions bring her into uneasy partnership with police chief Russ Van Alstyne, a married man whose professional judgment and personal loyalties are increasingly tested as the investigation deepens. Set against the lingering wounds of war, the case explores faith, trauma, duty, and the moral complexities of a community struggling to heal. This acclaimed debut launches a compelling mystery series with a richly drawn setting and an unforgettable investigative partnership.
