Jane Lawless is at her witβs end keeping her Minneapolis restaurants running while volunteering on her fatherβs campaign for governor. With an eleven-point lead, the race is Ray Lawlessβs to lose, but all that changes when his rival posts a list of violent criminals that are back on the streets early, thanks to Rayβs work during his career as a defense lawyer.
Corey Hodge is one of the convicts that took Rayβs advice to plead guilty for a crime that he swears he didnβt commit. Bitter from time served, revenge lurks in the back of his mind. Then one of Rayβs 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 fatherβs 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 Hartβs absorbing Jane Lawless series, make for an intense mystery of ambition and obsession.
