Thalia Spencer is missing. Is she in trouble or is she simply avoiding her family?When Thalia's conservative tycoon father confesses to private investigator Calli Barnow that he offered his daughter money to give up her girlfriend and start dating men, Calli thinks she knows where to start looking. She and her best friend, novice drag queen Dewey, comb the bars and clubs of Toronto's gay village, hoping to find Thalia hiding in plain sight. But then Thalia's beautiful lover, Zoe, says the girl is missing from her life too, and Calli realizes the situation is more dangerous than she'd thought. Following Calli Barnow as she chases an angel-faced killer through the twists and turns of the city, from Kensington Market's cozy coffee bars to Rosedale's chilly mansions to the seductive drinking dens of Church Street's gaybourhood, Red Rover is a thrilling puzzle with a sexy edge. Calli is an engaging companion, willing to throw herself into danger: body and soul.

About this title

Synopsis

Thalia Spencer is missing. Is she in trouble or simply avoiding her family? When his daughter disappears, conservative businessman John Spencer hires Toronto private eye Calli Barnow to find her. At first it seems like just another runaway case, but when Calli finds out that Thalia's lover, Zoe, hasn't seen her either, she starts to wonder if there's something sinister going on. Then Thalia's ex-boyfriend turns up dead. Is Calli hunting a killer or another victim? This fast-moving thriller follows Calli Barnow through the twists and turns of Toronto's neighbourhoods, from run-down but friendly Kensington Market to the Church Street gaybourhood, through the ravines of Rosedale and Mount Pleasant's mausoleums. Calli is an engaging companion, flawed but determined, pursued by her own demons as she tries to find a missing girl before more trouble finds her.
