He'd been a good detective but methods change, times change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe's looking forward to a life of solitude, a good book, and staying indoors during the winter months. Unfortunately, his former boss has other plans. He's not even a week out of the job when she asks him to mentor rising star Meaghan Byatt-one of those upstart detectives-on her first case in the homicide department. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe case is an odd one from the get-go, enough that Smeg decides, against his better judgment, to help. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With a jobless stepson living at home who won't stop encouraging him to get with the times, and his growing fondness for Byatt making him begrudgingly look forward to human interaction, this case might be what Smeg needs to get back in the game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Wishart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rising Action\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781998672127","brand":"Rising Action","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45175646879881,"sku":"9781998672127","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_9b722ce5-a84c-4744-af92-547caeb5fe41.jpg?v=1768891079","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/smeg-9781998672127","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
