Summary
Joanne Kilbourn is following the political campaign of Ginny Monaghan, a woman whose success depends not so much on the election-day poll, but on the outcome of a custody battle she's fighting.

With her new marriage under strain, Joanne investigates why the dead woman had started to threaten her clients with blackmail. Some strong language, some descriptions of violence, and some descriptions of sex. c2008. (Joanne Kilbourn mysteries ; 11)
