Book description
The seventh novel in the popular Inspector Bliss series is another
action-packed mystery filled with nail-biting adventures involving
religious sects, criminal conspiracies, and the world trade in cocoa.
When an RCMP officer is murdered in Vancouver, suspicion falls upon
Janet Thurgood, a woman in her sixties who appears to everyone, apart
from Trina Button, to be completely mad. Trina is quick to embroil
Daphne Lovelace in her efforts to discover the truth about Janet.
David Bliss, meanwhile, tries to stay out of the way in the south of
France, where he encounters problems of his own when, to his utter
amazement, he rediscovers his one true love. Can he finally pull the
trigger and make a commitment?

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),
