Publisher's summary

Controversial author and scholar David Etheridge is not the kind of company an aspiring politician wants to keep. But ambitious senator Robert McCrutchen has a history with Etheridge that he's desperately trying to keep under wraps: 22 years ago, both men were investigated in the still-unsolved death of a young coed.

When Etheridge returns to Oregon, McCrutchen is his grudging host - until the senator is found shot dead. Now, Etheridge is once again suspected of murder, only this time, with the cold case reopened, he's facing a double charge.

Attorney Barbara Holloway must battle both the prosecution and the court of public opinion, which has already tried and convicted Etheridge for both murders. As the pressure mounts, Barbara must risk her own life to protect a client and preserve justice.

Fruit of the vine

When she is not extolling the pleasures of a glass of fine wine, Kate Wilhelm tells a fine story of murder and mystery in the State of Oregon. This is another entertaining adventure of Barbara Holloway and her cast of supporting characters. The Plot is well done and moves at a good pace. However, the story is a bit slow to develop. Narration is very well done and is a solid addition to this book. Recommend this for lovers of the genre.

Narration makes all the difference

The story is good, but the narrator makes all the female characters sound weak, histrionic, or like valley girls.

I miss Anna Fields.

not the best if you like the courtroom drama.

I enjoy Kate Wilhelm's series about her lady lawyer Barbara. I especially like the courtroom where Barbara really shines her cross examinations are wonderful. The last 2 books I have read in the series don't enter the courtroom and it is strickly a procedural with Barbara constantly complaining about how much sleep she is not getting. The case is complex but there isn't a lot happening until the last chapter.
