Book description
In this new series by the acclaimed author of the Belle Palmer
mysteries, RCMP Corporal Holly Martin takes charge of her first post, a
detachment in tiny Fossil Bay on the wild south coast of Vancouver
Island. Drunk drivers, speeders and the occasional theft from tourist
cars lead the crime roster, but her first day starts with a distress
call. A scuba diver has found the body of a girl in the surf. A tragic
drowning caused by a fall? The late arrival of tox-scan results for
crystal meth, the most recent plague to hit the island, raises ugly
questions. Just before Holly makes an arrest, a record-setting typhoon
roars in, empowered to destroy everything in its path. As the wind howls
and trees crash around her, Holly struggles to survive and to bring a
murderer to justice. Lou Allin is the author of two series, the Holly
Martin and Belle Palmer mysteries. After teaching for many years at
Laurentian College in Sudbury, she now lives near Sooke, on Vancouver
Island.
