Shadowland

Praised by William Kent Krueger, author of Northwest Angle and Vermillion Drift, Zoe Lawrence returns in this third installment from Pam Leonard.  "With Shadowland, Pam Leonard shatters the myth of Minnesota nice.  In scene after powerful scene, Leonard explores the dark heart of homelessness and sex trafficking in the Twin Cities.  The result is a twisted and harrowing journey down unexpected mean streets and dangerous alleyways.  It's an experience you won't want to miss."  Dr. Zoe Lawrence, a resident physician at Minneapolis General Hospital, is temporarily sidelined by pneumonia and a new physician working with Zoe's lover, Dr. Kaj Parker, has her questioning his fidelity.  But witnessing the prelude to a murder tempts her out of her sick bed and onto the trail of a killer.  Sixteen year-old Lucy, temporarily assigned to care for Zoe during her illness, is drawn into Zoe's surreptitious activities and both risk all as their quest takes them from homeless camps to prostitution dens.
