Synopsis
The death of a swing bridge operator is clearly no accident, and a troubled fifteen-year-old boy and the aging bridge are both under suspicion for murder. Detective Arvo Thorson is having a breakdown of his own: a drinking binge makes him all too vulnerable to his ex-wife s treacherous charms, and may put the cork in his romance with social worker Christine Ivory. Meanwhile Christine is burnt out from too many years working with Mendota County s youngest crime victims and she s ready for a change, even if that means leaving the county, and Arvo, for good."
