Review
"The novel is at once playfully intellectual and grittily realistic." - Canadian Literature magazine, book review, Autumn 2010 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. When a man is found dead in a garden pond in the wealthy heart of Toronto's Rosedale neighbourhood Morgan is lead into speculations about Japanese ornamental koi fish, and Quin into a chilling sequence of revelations that could destroy her. But the real mystery begins not with the deceased but with a woman who walks onto the crime scene and without emotion declares herself to be the victim's mistress. From that point on everything changes, even the past.
