Book description

Murder casts a long shadow, reaching from fabled Easter Island in the South Pacific to the desolate shores of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic. Detective Miranda Quin of the Toronto Police Service takes time off to write a mystery in the tropics and gets trapped in a sinister plot with global implications. Her partner in homicide, David Morgan, is left alone to resolve the case of a beautiful corpse on a Toronto Island yacht and ends up precariously compromised in the mysterious North. Their stories converge when they both return to Toronto. They discover themselves trapped in a labyrinth of deadly complexity, and the only way out is together. Much more than their own survival depends on it. Islands, they learn, are an illusion. Everything connects, especially when murder is involved. "In the annals of fictional crime detection, Quin and Morgan are unique. I can hardly wait to see where they'll get to in the next installment of their weird and wonderful careers." John Moss is the author of two previous Quin and Morgan Mysteries: Still Waters and Grave Doubts . He has published numerous books, including the non-fiction works Enduring Dreams: An Exploration of Arctic Landscape and Invisible Among the Ruins: Field Notes of a Canadian in Ireland .
