Marriage, Murder, and the Hand That Frays

At a critical point in their relationship, Lyla and Neo Wade are still living with the trauma they share.

Neo is faltering beneath a case that comes too close to home, while Lyla is regaining some of the sanity she possessed before he turned her life inside out.

Blood ties them together, as does a shared hunger for revenge.

Murder and marriage may yet decide whether that connection lasts through the final installment of the Butcher of Crows Hollow series.
