Middle-aged Jane Barken discovers a lump in her left breast, the second in five years. She is depressed, her marriage is falling apart, and her singing career is faltering. Recuperating at her Willow Island cottage after a lumpectomy, she decides to embark on a canoe trip around the island. She discovers a section of the island no one has ever seen, and what she finds there is horrifying.
“The Three-Legged Fox is at once a mystery and a keen study in contrast. Behind a continually shifting façade of adult civility, Dahlstrom’s characters revel in infidelity, betrayal, and misguided passions, resulting in trauma, pain, and ultimately murder. A finely-woven story, albeit one where the human threads are far more frayed than anyone realizes.”
