When UC-San Diego Professor Marcus George discovers the body of an outspoken, overbearing colleague in a faculty office, he becomes entangled in a murder investigation and reluctantly finds himself playing amateur sleuth. His partner, attorney Bob Abramson, is coping with a family tragedy—and, as his 40th birthday approaches, facing personal demons as well. Winter combines the suspense of a murder with a profound observation of character, as Bob and Marcus face their most difficult time as a couple.
The fourth in H.N. Hirsch’s Bob & Marcus Mystery series, Winter brings readers ever more intimately into the lives of the long-time crime-solving duo. Emotional stress over the death of a parent plunges them into sorrow, while their daughter Lily brings only joy as she begins to grow up. And their investigator colleague, Jason, surprises them by finding, at last, what may turn into a meaningful relationship.
As always, however, the quest to find the murderer is the central element of this engrossing story, and Bob and Marcus’s determination to do so brings them up against power, influence, and money in the world of academe. Winter is a hot summer read you won’t want to miss!
