Book Summary
Jane Lawless is at her wit’s end keeping her Minneapolis
restaurants running while volunteering on her father’s
campaign for governor. With an eleven-point lead, the race
is Ray Lawless’s to lose, but all that changes when his
rival posts a list of violent criminals that are back on the
streets early, thanks to Ray’s work during his career as a
defense lawyer.
Corey Hodge is one of the convicts
that took Ray’s advice to plead guilty for a crime that he
swears he didn’t commit. Bitter from time served, revenge
lurks in the back of his mind. Then one of Ray’s young
campaign volunteers is killed, and with the murder mirroring
the crime Corey was convicted of, Jane has to bring the
killer to justice to save her father’s political career and
to keep Corey from going to prison again.
The high
stakes and political intrigue that fuel Sweet Poison,
the latest in Lambda and Minnesota Book Award--winning
author Ellen Hart’s absorbing Jane Lawless series, make for
an intense mystery of ambition and obsession.
