Minneapolis restaurateur and amateur sleuth Jane Lawless is in the middle of ringing in the New Year the best way she knows howβwith her family, friends, and some excellent champagneβwhen the biggest financial backersΒ in Minnesota politics break up the party with a little backroom proposition for her father: Howβd he like to be the stateβs next governor?
Flattered, Ray Lawless, a retired defense attorney, agrees to run, and the latecomerβs sprint to the state capital is going great until reporters and opponents start digging up the kind of dirt that is more valuable than gold out on the campaign trail. He and his family are fair game, but worse than that, so are the men running his campaign. Their secrets, involving the mysterious death of aΒ young woman, have been buried since the summer they all came home from Vietnam. Unfortunately for Jane and her father, those secrets wonβt stay that way for long.
The Mortal Groove, the newest addition to Lambda and Minnesota Book Award--winning author Ellen Hartβs multilayered Jane Lawless series, is a haunting tale of dark secrets that is sure toΒ satisfy.
