Bishop & Pawn: A Jessie Witthun Mystery, Book 5 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781738897636)

Jessie Witthun really is trying to be a better person, but the Universe always seems to have other plans for her! Just weeks after their very eventful wedding, a whole new host of problems is crashing down on Jessie and Charlie. Their young friend Robert Fang becomes the target of a gang of hoodlums. Jessie honours a promise that may ruin her friendship with Hsin Fang. In the meantime, things go dreadfully wrong in Buffalo. Jessie and Charlie head to Hal Bishop's mansion to support Jeanie and her husband Skunk, but the calamity they encounter there leaves them absolutely stunned. Under cover of night, they flee for their very lives! Ex-beau Ed Wright is back in the picture, as they desperately turn to him and his team of RCMP lawmen for help, but it turns out that even tough-as-nails Ed can be outwitted. As they discover more and more about the brilliant deviousness of their enemy, they must make a terrifying decision, and Jessie is forced to face a brutal test of her own goodness.

Hold onto your hat, because this one's a nail-biter!
