Book description
Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef of Port Dundas, Ontario is making
her way toward retirement with something less than grace. Hobbled by a
bad back and a dependence on painkillers, and blindsided by her recent
divorce, sixty-one-year-old Hazel has only the constructive criticism
of her old goat of a mother to buoy her.
But when a Port Dundas woman is found murdered in her home - with no
sign of resistance and her mouth sculpted into a strangely meaningful
shape - Hazel's bickering department springs to life. And as more
bodies are found, Hazel must confront a clamoring press and the town's
rumour mill whilst she edges ever closer to this terrifying,
gruesomely inventive serial killer.
