After losing her fiancé, her clinic, and all her savings, veterinarian Ally Winter moves back to Willow Bluff, Wisconsin and becomes accidentally involved when a sleazy lawyer is murdered in his home office with his Boxer the only witness

The highly anticipated second collection from the winner of the Seamus Heaney First Collection Prize 2020.

"Thirty-something veterinarian Ally Winter has found a new "leash" on life since she moved back to her hometown of Willow Bluff, Wisconsin. But when she takes Domino, the black standard poodle she's boarding for the weekend, for a sunny September stroll along the shore of Lake Michigan, the diminutive dog dashes off, only to return with a single, polka-dotted, high-heeled shoe. Retracing Domino's paw prints back to a weeping willow tree, they find the other shoe. It's still on the foot of 20-year-old Pricilla Green--lying dead beneath the willow, with a silk scarf knotted tightly around her neck. Willow Bluff's finest--and handsomest--detective, Noah Jorgenson, is soon on the tail of the killer. But he has another worry on his mind when Ally's grandfather, a lifelong true-crime buff, starts to suspect that the recent burglary of a local big-box store may have some connection to Pricilla's murder. Noah cautions Ally to keep Gramps well away from the homicide investigation, but the old dog is drawn to danger like a puppy is to a squeaky ball." -- Book jacket

Focusing on the evolution of the Democratic and Republican Party platforms from 1840 to 2016, the book examines how these platforms reflect the narrative of the 'American' identity and concepts of individual freedom. It highlights the historical development of political divisions in the United States while also identifying areas of common ground between the two parties, providing a nuanced understanding of American political dynamics.
