Description

For fans of Louise Penny's Chief Inspector Gamache Mysteries.

"Wright is a master of the psychological thriller."--Booklist

A refugee from big-city policing, Karl Alberg thinks he's seen it all, but he's not even going to know what hit him.

In this Arthur Ellis Award-winning sequel to cult classic The Suspect, Alberg's search for the truth takes him to British Columbia's Sunshine Coast and into the secluded house of Zoe Strachan, a woman of seductive beauty and shattering secrets.

At the same time, Alberg investigates the sudden disappearance of an elderly widow from a village nursing home... a disappearance he doesn't connect with the Strachan case until it is almost too late, when the two seemingly unrelated events converge in a chilling act of violence and evil that will challenge Alberg's utmost powers of perception as a detective--and as a man.

Winner of the Crime Writers of Canada Award of Excellence for best novel.

"A truly splendid book--compassionate, humorous, erotic, and suspenseful... Stayed with me long after I turned the last page." --Jonathan Kellerman, author of Self-Defense

Critical Reviews

"Finely crafted prose supports the narrowly focused plot, wonderful characters, and gorgeous descriptions" --Library Journal

"Rich in humorous and poignant aspects as well as fierce suspense" --Publishers Weekly

"The real stuff...superb...the atmosphere of the Sunshine Coast is as much a character as the people themselves" --Vancouver Sun

"Packed full of vivid characterizations, absorbing scenes, and impeccable writing....Wright has been aptly compared to Ruth Rendell and P.D. James, but it's been a while since either of them has written anything this good" --Philadelphia Inquirer

"A truly splendid book--compassionate, humorous, erotic and suspenseful....Adding riches to riches, Wright writes with style and grace, and is masterful at creating a terrific sense of dread." --bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman

"Chilling...both scary and fascinating" --St. Louis Post-Dispatch
