From the Inside Flap
From the Edgar Award-winning author of The Suspect and A Chill Rain in January comes a superbly crafted story of love, hate, and murder...
RCMP Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg is at a crossroads. Coping with the death of his father and his own inexorable slide into middle age, he must make a decision about his relationship with his lover of eight years, Cassandra Mitchell. Restless and in desperate need of distraction, Alberg finds a project to fill the time during his bereavement leave: looking into the all-too-neat disappearance of a local man on the morning after his sixth wedding anniversary. Ultimately the case converges with another, as the very messy life of a simpleminded Vancouver stock boy spills over into the small coastal town of Sechelt, in an explosive climax of shocking, unforgettable violence.
