Praise for this book

A taut, high-stakes thriller that is deeply personal, internal, and psychological.
Beneath the many mysteries of Barnard's character-driven debut are enduring questions about the complexities of life and the choices people make.
Readers already invested in the series are most likely to appreciate this one.
I really enjoyed this book... a great way to spend a few hours.
A dramatic setting: the Alberta foothills, with all the scenery and threat of eco-protesters that entails
