Book description
The verdant lushness of Vancouver Island is not without its dangers...
Summer on Vancouver Island gets off to a rocky start with the discovery
of the body of a homeless man. RCMP Corporal Holly Martin notices drug
paraphernalia nearby, and the autopsy reveals death from a combination
of heroin and a synthetic opiate. Information leads Holly to believe
that he had hidden something of value at the site of his death. As Holly
struggles to connect the dots, a record drought heats up the vacation
paradise, and one match could send Canadas Caribbean into flames.
"…a must-read book that will be hard to put down this season."
