Fog

Set in the fog-shrouded mountains north of San Francisco, Fog is a classic murder mystery with an ethical twist. When a boy dies among the redwoods, hot emotions cloud even the coolest heads as a town unites for vengeance. Can Morgan Kendall see clearly enough to ferret out the truth? And how will she respond when the death penalty debate turns personal? "A strong beginning for a new mystery series." (Kirkus Reviews)
