From Publishers Weekly
At the start of Tapply's entertaining 22nd Brady Coyne novel (after 2005's
Nervous Water), the Boston lawyer's dog uncovers a pregnant teenager dying in his snow-covered backyard. After the coroner finds Brady's Beacon Hill address in the girl's pocket, Brady pursues the girl's identity among street kids, a couple of whom shortly turn up murdered. The investigation leaps forward when Brady's girlfriend, Evie Banyon, recognizes the girl from the morgue photos, and another clue leads to a defunct New Hampshire genetics lab. Brady heads north to question the geneticist who headed the lab and becomes convinced that the man has something to hide. In the page-turning denouement, Brady outfits himself commando-style to survey the scientist's secluded farmhouse and learn the truth. Longtime series fans will be most rewarded.

From Booklist
It's true that Boston attorney Brady Coyne likes to take life easy. But it's also true that when the occasional murder case drops in his lap, Brady is all too ready to take a few chances. This time murder lands literally in his backyard, in the form of the victim, a teenage girl whom Brady finds dead in the snow with his address in her pocket. But who is she? Finding the answer to that question proves easier than it seems at first, but tracking back the girl's life in an attempt to determine who killed her is a horse of another color. The trail leads Brady to New Hampshire and the home of a renegade doctor whose research may not be as innocent as it appears. Even with Brady out in the cold, on a solo stakeout, taking chances in triplicate, he's always a regular guy--somebody whose butt gets cold if he sits in the snow. So who can blame him for recklessly trying to put a little juice in his life? We would, too, if we had the nerve.
