Synopsis
The eagerly awaited second novel from the author of the widely acclaimed debut mystery The Calling.
DI Hazel Micallef is still recovering from back surgery when a report comes in that a body has been found in a nearby lake, snagged under several feet of water. But as DC Wingate says, the whole thing is way too eerie. The first installment of a story has just been published in the local paper: a passage that describes in detail just such a discovery. Real life is far too close to fiction for coincidence.
The second novel featuring Hazel Micallef is a stunning and suspenseful exploration of the obsessive far reaches of love. It will confirm Inger Ash Wolfe as one of the best mystery writers there is.

From the Back Cover
FRONT COVER QUOTE:
Detective Hazel Micallef wows in her second outing. The series is addictive. Entertainment WeeklyBACK COVER COPY: A terrifyingly addictive series I m hooked! Detective Hazel Micallef investigates the creepiest of crimes. Mo Hayder, author of The Devil of NankingDetective Inspector Hazel Micallef is having a bad year. After major back surgery, she moves into her ex-husband s home to be cared for by his new wife. As if that weren t enough to cope with, her octogenarian mother is insisting that Hazel end her dependence on painkillers an insistence that takes the form of secretly flushing Hazel s stash down the toilet. It s almost a relief when Hazel gets a call about a body found in one of the lakes near Port Dundas. But what raises the hair on the back of her neck is that the local paper has just published the first installment of a serialized story featuring such a scenario. Even before they head out to the lake, she and Detective Constable James Wingate know they are being played. But who is pulling their strings and why are not clear, nor is what they find at the lake at all what they expected. This is no simple drowning accident or even a straightforward murder. It s Micallef herself who is snared, caught up in a cryptic game being played by a maven of the art of deception. Lovers of twisty but plausible plotting and an out-of-the-ordinary lead will embrace Wolfe s standout second police procedural featuring Canadian Det. Insp. Hazel Micallef. Publishers Weekly Just as compelling as the first . . . with an even more expertly managed plot . . . Keeps the reader s heart pounding from first page to last in a distinctive and superior crime novel. Toronto StarInger Ash Wolfe is the author of The Calling."About the Author
Inger Ash Wolfe is currently at work on her third Hazel Micallef mystery.
