Book description
In the fourth Inspector Bliss mystery, Bliss teams up with Daphne
Lovelace to trace the father of a Canadian woman whose husband is
dying of cancer. While Ruth Jackson may believe that she was sired by
a Beatle, Bliss and Daphne have other ideas.
In Vancouver, Ruth's world falls apart when her dying husband
suddenly disappears and she is arrested on suspicion of murder. His
substantial life insurance policy and the blood-stained knife found in
her kitchen don't help her case.
Detective Sergeant Phillips of the Mounties takes up the case, and
Trina Button, a zany homecare nurse, stirs up trouble for everyone in
this intriguing international story.
"This story mixes danger, suspense and skulduggery with bravery,
romance and a dash of Keystone Cops."
James Hawkins was a
police commander in the U. K. for 20 years and a Canadian private
investigator for a further 8 years. He was also director of education
at the Canadian Institute for Environmental Investigations. His debut
novel, Missing: Presumed Dead (2001), was shortlisted for the
Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel.
