Crime Writers of Canada Award for Best Crime Novel 2005, Winner
NEW PAPERBACK REISSUE

In the fourth book in this gripping series — which won a Crime Writers of Canada award — Inspector Green probes for family secrets that someone wants to keep buried...no matter the cost.


Accident or suicide? That’s the simple question put to Inspector Michael Green when a derelict stranger falls to his death from an abandoned church tower in a quiet river village at the edge of his jurisdiction. But when the victim turns out be a long lost son of a local farm family cursed in recent years by tragedy, madness and death, Green begins to suspect something far more sinister is at work. Probing the family’s past, he uncovers a toxic mix of rigid fundamentalism, teenage rebellion and a family secret so horrific that twenty years later, someone is still desperate to prevent the truth from coming to light.
