About this title

Synopsis

Toronto cop Charlie Salter must protect a British princess who may be the target of a terrorist attack, in the toughest case he has faced to date

Reviews

Inspector Charlie Salter of the Toronto Police Department returns in his sixth adventure, a solid, well-crafted mystery that will delight his fans. Most of the force is preparing for the arrival of a British princess. Salter, who is assigned to the Special Affairs Center, investigates threatening letters that are being received by several Yorkville merchants, an area Her Majesty will tour. Initially, it looks like a feud between the business owners and the street vendors. But after the princess leaves the vicinity, a bomb explodes, killing the estranged husband of one of the shopkeepers. Salter must begin the task of finding the murderer although the case will eventually be given to homicide. In the midst of a career crisis, the veteran cop's pride is at stake in solving this baffling crime. Wright's ( The Night the Gods Smiled ) deft characterizations enhance this fast-paced novel, a welcome addition to the Salter series.

Store Description

We started selling books at the Toronto Book Fair in the Fall of 1996. In 2004 we opened up a Brick and Mortar store on the corner of Lakeshore and Bronte. We unfortunately only lasted for 2 years. Then we closed the B&M and moved everything back home. We continue to do book shows such as the Bouchercon, Bloody Words, The Toronto Book Fair, The Ottawa Antiquarian Show and Thrillerfest. In order to sell and acquire signatures. Thank you.

Shipping Terms

I make it a rule not to contact you with extra shipping. When I buy books I buy with the thought of "How much is this book going to cost to ship." If it's too much I won't buy it.
The shipping charges that ABE quotes is the final shipping charges. I will not contact you for more money. I will bite the bullet myself rather then harass you for more money.
Thank you. Don
