Two people have died in Lake Tahoe in shocking accidents. In a nearly empty parking lot, a hit-and-run driver kills probation officer Anna Meade Hallowell. High up on a jagged mountain, wife abuser Ray de Beers gets what he deserves: he's struck by lightning. Attorney Nina Reilly, hiking on a rare day off from her one-woman law practice, sees him die.

It's a bad end to a first date... and the start of a case that will test Nina's ethics and her heart.
Nina is certain de Beers's death is an act of God. But his aging father wants to exhume the body to rule out foul play. De Beers's frantic wife and teenage twins hire Nina to stop the disinterment. What gets unearthed are secrets that raise new questions...… (altro)
alright... though the mystery was interesting, the character of paul seems to have taken a turn into objectifying women and wanting to overpower them for sex. for part of the story, as he was fixated on a secondary character, it became a bit of an obsession that was distracting and unpleasant to read. so... i will try the next in the series, but if this is the way paul is being written going forward, i will be quitting the series.

And she must have agreed, because the whole night long, while the blue planet pursued its course through the ark unknown, and Tallac, crowned with stars, stood its perpetual watch, the only sounds from the bed were sounds to make even the gods jealous, sighs of dreams come true and cries of purest delight.
