Murder is the last thing on Joanne Kilbournās mind on a perfect morning in May. Then the phone rings, and she learns that her daughter Mieka has found the corpse of a young woman in an alley near her store. So begins Joanneās chilling collision with evil in Gail Bowenās riveting third mystery, The Wandering Soul Murders.
Joanne is stunned and saddened by the news that the dead woman, at seventeen, was already a veteran of the streets. When, just twenty-four hours later, her sonās girlfriend is found dead, drowned in a lake in Saskatchewanās QuāAppelle Valley, Joanneās sunny world is shattered. Her excitement about Miekaās upcoming marriage, her involvement in the biography she is writing, even her pleasure at her return to Regina all fade as she finds herself drawn into a twilight world where money can buy anything and there are always people willing to pay.
