    About this ebook

    Lawyer F. Reed Hamlin has everything—money, success, a small amount of fame. But no close relationships, and no family.

    Until he hears on the news that police have caught a Vietnam protester who bombed a munitions site. An anti-war radical who has hidden for twenty years. An anti-war radical also known as Reed's mother.

    "Kristine Kathryn Rusch's crime stories are exceptional, both in plot and in style."

      Kuchen

      Her hands, molding kuchen dough, were his earliest memory. If he concentrated, he could see them: long and supple, covered in flour. The kitchen smelled of yeast and stale marijuana smoke. He sat on a stool, pudgy elbows resting on the blond fake wood-grain countertop. Occasionally he would steal a scrap of the sweet dough and she would scold him, but never take the food away.
