Honesty isn't always the best policy in Kim Hays' third Linder and Donatelli Mystery novel . . . Andi Eberhart is riding her bicycle home on an icy winter night when she is killed in a hit-and-run.

Bern homicide Detective Giuliana Linder is assigned to investigate what happened to Andi. As she pieces together the details of Andi and Nisha’s lives, her assistant Renzo Donatelli looks into Andi’s job advising young men drafted into Switzerland’s civilian service.
