Description:
<p class="book_description"><b><i>The second instalment in the Lane Winslow mystery series; for fans of the Maisie Dobbs and Bess Crawford series.</i></b></p><p class="book_description">On a snowy day in December 1946, Lane Winslow&#8212;a former British intelligence agent who&#8217;s escaped to the rural Canadian community of King&#8217;s Cove in pursuit of a tranquil life&#8212;is introduced to the local hot springs. While there she overhears nearby patrons speaking Russian. When one of those patrons is found dead in the change room, Lane&#8217;s linguistic and intelligence experience is of immeasurable value to the local police force in solving the murder.</p><p class="book_description">The investigation points to the Soviet Union, where Stalin&#8217;s purges are eliminating enemies, and the reach of Stalin&#8217;s agent snakes all the way into a harmless Doukhobor community. Winslow&#8217;s complicated relationship with the local police inspector, Darling, is intensified by the perils of the case&#8212;and by the discovery of her own father&#8217;s death during the war.</p><p class="book_description">The case comes to a frantic and shocking end with a perilous nighttime journey along treacherous snow-covered roads.</p><p class="book_description">&#8220;Iona Whishaw is an exciting addition to Canada&#8217;s fine roster of mystery writers. I&#8217;m already planning to read [Killer in King&#8217;s Cove] again, and this time I&#8217;ll read the teaser for Whishaw&#8217;s next novel provided at the end. A debut mystery by an author destined for awards.&#8221; &#8211;Don Graves, Canadian Mystery Reviews blog</p>
