<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.
