X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>See below for an extract from a summary fr
 om <strong><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25387897-the-bitte
 r-season?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_17">Goodreads.com</a></strong></p>\n<p><em>A murd
 er from the past. A murder from the present. And a life that was never mea
 nt to be... As the dreary\, bitter weather of late fall descends on Minnea
 polis\, Detective Nikki Liska is restless. After moving to the cold case s
 quad in order to spend more time with her sons\, she misses the rush of pu
 lling an all-nighter\, the sense of urgency of hunting a murderer on the l
 oose. Most of all she misses her old partner\, Sam Kovac.</em></p>\n<p><em
 >Sam is having an even harder time adjusting to Nikki's absence\, saddled 
 with a green new partner younger than pieces of Sam's wardrobe. Sam is dis
 tracted from his troubles by an especially brutal double homicide: a middl
 e-aged husband and wife bludgeoned and hacked to death in their home with 
 a ceremonial Japanese samurai sword. Nikki's case\, the unsolved murder of
  a family man\, community leader\, and decorated sex crimes detective for 
 the Minneapolis PD\, is less of a distraction: Twenty years later\, there 
 is little hope for finding the killer who got away.</em></p>\n<p><em>On th
 e other end of the spectrum\, Minneapolis resident Evi Burke has a life sh
 e only dreamed of as a kid in and out of foster homes: a beautiful home\, 
 a family\, people who love her\, a fulfilling job. Little does she know th
 at a danger from her past is stalking her perfect present. A danger powerf
 ul enough to pull in both Kovac and Liska and destroy the perfect life she
  was never meant to have.</em></p>\n<p>-----------------------------------
