Book description
Danson Lafleur's been on a crusade to investigate deported criminals
who return undetected to Canada, and now he's missing. Can he be the
unidentified man in the morgue? Danson's desperate sister pleads with
artist and amateur sleuth Hollis Grant to search for her brother, since
the police don't appear to be taking his disappearance seriously. Leads
seem to connect Danson and Gregory, his mystery flat-mate, to drugs. But
who is Gregory, and what is his connection to the Russian mob? As Hollis
investigates, she clashes with homicide detective Rhona Simpson, a woman
annoyed by amateur sleuths in general and Hollis Grant in particular.
Rhona, adjusting to a new, attractive, enigmatic partner, wants Hollis
off the case. Toronto in November is as cold as Danson's trail. Will
Hollis connect the dots before the body count rises? Joan Boswell has
had work published in magazines and anthologies. As a member of the
group of writers called the Ladies' Killing Circle, she has had stories
in each of their seven anthologies. She has published four Hollis Grant
mysteries. She lives in Toronto.
