She isn't sure what's next ... perhaps traveling in the RV she has yet to buy, with a dog she doesn't currently own. Perhaps gardening near the ever-shrinking patch of woods behind her house - once the cable company's backhoe is removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe'll need to do\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003esomething\u003c\/i\u003e, if only to distract herself from how empty her life has become. After the murder of her young daughter by a drunk driver. After the divorce. After the realization that all she has is her job and that she's about to lose that, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything changes when bodies begin to turn up. Murdered, but how? Not by knife, gun, or any obvious weapon. Instead: teethmarks. Chunks missing. Like they'd been chewed on. And not by humans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs she's struggling to solve her final case, an unexpected new friendship seems like just what Andy needs. Where she is detached from life, Fiona embraces it. Where she is a homebody, Fiona roams. Yet the women are drawn together by a shared love of nature and wildlife. Until Andy learns the dark truth behind Fiona's smile. A secret that threatens to unravel the world as she knows it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stage, Zoje","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47825983209726,"sku":"9798228496903","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/1532\/4335\/files\/Something_of_a_Calling.png?v=1772573637","url":"https:\/\/wanderingraccoonbooks.com\/products\/9798228496903","provider":"Wandering Raccoon Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
