Product Description
Product Description
A murder mystery set in Ottawa, Canada, where gothic
Parliament buildings dominate a landscape riddled with
backstabbers and cocaine sniffers.
Conn Anderson, a former public servant, has turned a passion for old English sports cars into owning a shop, Britfit, that repairs them. All he wants to do is run his business - that and get to know his landlady's niece a whole lot better.
Everything is going swimmingly until a mysterious government-leased Jaguar is destroyed on the premises by an arsonist, the shop's resident mouse catcher is kicked nearly to death, and someone tries to run Anderson off the road.
As the body count mounts, Anderson is drawn deeper and deeper into the dealings of a government document production ring that feeds on the most vulnerable members of Canadian society.
Prior to a twenty-five-year career in federal government communications and media relations, Roger White was a reporter/editor with weekly and daily Ontario newspapers. He is married and lives in Ottawa, where he is hard at work on the next book in his Capital Crime series.

Format:Paperback
A most enjoyable thriller set in Ottawa. The author has drawn extensively on his professional career in government to add reality to the plot. His own insight into the world of British classic cars as well as their maintenance provides an additional aspect of interest for the reader. Plenty of action and an interesting concluding twist to the story.

fun read, wonderfully written
12 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback
If you enjoy murder mysteries and have even a remote interest in old English sport cars I highly recommend this first novel by Canadian author Roger White. His approach to the interwoven issues of the auto repair shop (Britfit), murder, and government is compelling. The author presents his personal, well-researched perspectives, which take us over the winding roads in and around the city of Ottawa, Canada where the story is set. This novel is successful, in part, because of its well developed plot. Another strength of this wonderfully written mystery lies in the linkages made between ethics, corruption, human desire, uncertainty, and death. This reviewer looks forward to White's next novel of intrigue. Enjoy!
