Review
...John Moss weaves a most unusual plot connecting the past and the present. He produces unexpected events and hints of secrets hidden in the minds of his characters. Connie's Reviews (online blog) July 2010 "Moss skillfully enlarges his story to make it more than a murder mystery: it is a life mystery ... This too is a powerful novel." Star Phoenix July 2009 "...has all the markings of a most interesting series with a pair of detectives who give the reader so much to like in the book." -- Shelf Life 2009
Product Description
This psychological mystery introduces David Morgan and Miranda Quin, two maverick and culturally sophisticated Toronto police detectives. It explores the impact of a serial killer's crimes as his malevolence is revealed through the fusion of Miranda's deductive and Morgan's inductive approaches. Details of their own lives contribute crucial elements to their investigation. There is an inexorable build-up of suspense as the novel unfolds from the almost gentle beginning where a millionaire's body is found in his Rosedale koi pond, to unspeakable revelations in the end, when Miranda is forced to confront the implications of a sexual assault in her teens and to endure horrific confinement in the serial killer's slaughterhouse.
