As this sequel to Trial of Passion opens, Arthur is married to Margaret, happily – except she is 50 feet up on a platform on an old-growth Douglas fir, saving the rain forest. Meantime, Arthur must journey to Vancouver to defend his long-time and quirkily engaging client, Nick (the Owl) Faloon, ex-jewel thief (once ranked number seven in the world), accused of murdering an attractive Ann Landerish pop-therapist.

April Fool (hardcover edition released last October) won the 2006 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel.
