Library Journal
Female private investigator Devon MacDonald, working the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, traces a client's sperm donations (to a fertility clinic) in hopes of locating a compatible bone marrow transplant source for his dying son. Devon finds one such fathered-in-absentia child locally, but its ''father'' belongs to the Aryan Supremacy Party, habitually beats his wife, and would forbid aiding her client, a Jew. Suddenly Devon's client stands accused of the man's murder, and Devon must confront a bunch of belligerent bigots. As the sympathetic, intelligent, and intentionally solitary (but with a love interest on the horizon) protagonist of a new series, Devon may attract a wide following.
