Hell and High Water

Alaskan attorney Maeve Malloy isn't sure she's cut out to be a lawyer anymore. She takes a kitchen job at a remote lodge while she sorts out her life, hiding her past from her new friends. Just as a storm rolls in, a tourist is murdered. There is no escape and no rescue in sight. When the police ask Maeve to investigate, her cover is blown, and her new friends aren't so friendly anymore. To find the killer before it's too late, she must expose their deepest secrets, sort lies from truth, love from hate, and the innocent from the guilty.

Continuing to build after a strong start, Powell turns her beady eye and compassionate heart towards the corrosive nature of old secrets and the dangers of reckoning with the truth at last. Maeve Molloy's third outing is atmospheric, gritty and completely satisfying. - CAlaskan attorney Maeve Malloy isn't sure she's cut out to be a lawyer anymore.
