"Dunlap, author of the Jill Smith mysteries and Kiernan O'Shaughnessy series, introduces another brilliant but vulnerable heroine, Darcy Lott, a stuntwoman with a secret. After a stunt goes awry and a young protégé is seriously injured, Darcy, a Buddhist, retreats to Redwood Canyon Monastery, deep in California redwood country, where she delivers a message from her Manhattan roshi, or spiritual teacher, to the camp's leader, the enigmatic Leo Garson–roshi. Rather than enlightenment, Darcy finds a Zen camp awash in greed, lies and ultimately murder as she investigates Leo's sudden illness and the disappearance of a young Zen student six years earlier. Dunlap fans are sure to welcome this new addition to her oeuvre."—Publishers Weekly
