Cold City Streets

Brian Featherstone's money and power couldn't protect him. In the depths of Edmonton's winter, a killer leaves the oilman dead in a residential neighborhood. Legal aid lawyer Jessica Harper's client is found with the murder weapon, cash, and a drug-house full of reasons to be guilty. But Paul Sidney swears that somewhere in the shadows of an urban jungle, the real killer lurks. An ex-athlete wants a better life for his kid than he had in Detroit; Harper is exorcising demons; the victim's enemies want their pound of flesh. Did police jump the gun? Could a stock-market swindle play a part? Or is the accused playing Jessie for a fool?
