In the latest mystery written by Boston College alumna Priscilla Paton, police detectives Erik Jansson and Deb Metzger work to solve the murder of Dan Routh, a man who rescued trafficked teen addicts from a vindictive crime boss, but was also an alcoholic and disgraced ex-cop. Kirkus Reviews calls Should Grace Fail (Epicenter Press/Coffeetown, 2020) “an ambitious mystery that tackles heavy themes, such as the darkness of addiction and the fragility of human existence.” Detectives Jansson and Metzger were first introduced to readers in Paton’s whodunit Where Privacy Dies.
