We all know some laws are made to be broken. The trick is knowing which—and when.

When a repeat offender destroys Charlie Monroe's family, he is driven to do what the justice system won’t. Amateur sleuth Ginny Forbes gets swept up in his quest for vengeance. She finds herself running for the border—pursued by a relentless Dallas homicide detective, hijacked by an escaping felon, and driven into a wolf-infested wilderness by a massive Nor’easter.

Using the heavy snow cover to help her smuggle Charlie into Canada, Ginny heads for the ferry and breathes a cautious sigh of relief. But when the phantom hound of the Highlands—the legendary Cù-Sìth—appears in the winter shadows, Ginny is forced to remember a terrifying truth: the same ancient law that engendered this desperate flight always exacts a price.

A CozyPlus mystery perfect for readers who love the structural brilliance, sharp wit, and psychological depth of classic masters like Josephine Tey, Dorothy Sayers, and Ellis Peters.
