This leaves Julia plenty of time to get involved in other things, and what engages her here is what happens after the death of a baby born to a young interracial couple. The member of the church who most violently opposes allowing the baby to be buried in the cemetery ends up dead. The baby's mother is quickly arrested, but Julia is convinced of her innocence. At the same time, the IRS is threatening to claim the Lambroses' assets over a mistaken refund. Julia and Nick's offer to help the lawyer handling the case appears to set the cat among the pigeons.
More violence follows, but the couple refuse to give up.
There's a nice feeling to the couple's interaction, and the authors get full marks for sensitively dealing with a controversial issue. At the same time, some of the characters, notably the bad guys, who reek of evil, are so contrived that the story loses credibility. You can buy this book online at Barnes and Noble.
