Book description
The discovery of two headless corpses dressed in colonial clothing
and locked in a grisly embrace draws Detectives Miranda Quin and David
Morgan of the Toronto Police Service into a Gothic mixture of sex and
death that ultimately threatens their survival.
What if the difference between good and evil is only perception?
Beginning with morbid curiosity, Miranda and Morgan get caught up in
a story of inspired depravity. Through revelations in such diverse
locations as a Toronto demolition site, a lonely farmhouse on Georgian
Bay, the crypt of a derelict church, and inside the murky depths of a
shipwreck, this perverse account of love, lust, and murder builds to a
horrific crescendo. Seduced by their own personal demons, Quin and
Morgan might not find their considerable skills and strong bonds
enough this time to help them overcome the terrors that await.
John Moss is the author of two dozen books, including Invisible
Among the Ruins and Being Fiction, a collection short
stories. Moss is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a scuba
diving instructor. He lives in Peterborough, Ontario.
