Welsh criminal psychologist and globetrotting sleuth, Cait Morgan, and her retired-cop husband Bud Anderson, are enjoying some well-deserved peace and quiet at home, in moody, mountainous British Columbia. The sudden death of a neighbor is a significant loss for them both, so Cait’s honored when Gordy Krantz’s “unusual” will requests that she eulogize him at his memorial. However, delving into the dead man’s background becomes a pressing priority when a puzzling theft, and some surprising discoveries, put our favorite sleuths on high alert. Might someone living in their seemingly tight-knit – and certainly off-beat – rural community have wanted their neighbor dead? And if so, are more people they know at risk? The tenth Cait Morgan Mystery from Bony Blithe Award-winning author Cathy Ace, The Corpse with the Iron Will , forces Cait and Bud to use the skills they’ve honed tackling cases around the world to unmask a killer who’s too close to home for comfort! " "...(Cathy Ace) is, as it fortunately happens, more than adept at the Christie thing.” Toronto Star " "...(Cait possesses)...powers of deduction, which are worthy of Hercule Poirot.” The Jury Box, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine
