"You're in the hands of a master storyteller. A terrifyingly addictive series. Detective Hazel Micallef investigates the creepiest of crimes."―Mo Hayder
Stinging deaths aren't uncommon in the summertime, but when Henry Wiest turns up stung to death at an Indian reservation, Detective Hazel Micallef senses not all is as it seems. And when it turns out the "bee" was a diabolical teenaged girl on a murder spree with a strange weapon, a dark and twisted crime begins to slowly emerge. The questions, contradictions, and bodies begin to mount, as two separate police forces struggle to work together to save the soul of Westmuir County.
The third thrilling installment in this acclaimed mystery series, A Door in the River is a brilliantly plotted, psychologically complex, and spellbinding story―and the most haunting Hazel Micallef novel yet.

Inger Ash Wolfe is the pseudonym for critically acclaimed author Michael Redhill, who is the author of The Calling, The Taken, and A Door in the River. He lives in Canada.
Canadian police detective Hazel Micallef may be in her sixties, but she has the drive and energy of coppers half her age. In this third in the series, the death of hardware-store-owner Henry Wiest has Micallef wondering what’s become of the once sleepy Ontario enclave she calls home. When, mere days later, Wiest’s widow is attacked, Micallef can no longer deny that something sinister is afoot. Clues lead the detective and her team to an underground casino on the local Indian reservation, which, on the surface, seems like a typical betting establishment. But the gambling here is done with human lives. Was Henry Wiest engaged in illicit activities or just trying to help victimized young women escape their fate? The answers could lie with a young prostitute named Larysa, whose self-preservation instincts may have cost Wiest his life. Meanwhile, Micallef must contend with her cantankerous 87-year-old mother, whose health is failing. Pseudonymous novelist Wolfe serves up plenty of action and a likable protagonist in sexagenarian Micallef, who is equal parts cleverness, gumption, and grace. --Allison Block
