In this Arthur Ellis Award-winning sequel to cult classic The Suspect, Alberg’s search for the truth takes him to British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast and into the secluded house of Zoe Strachan, a woman of seductive beauty and shattering secrets. At the same time, Alberg investigates the sudden disappearance of an elderly widow from a village nursing home… a disappearance he doesn’t connect with the Strachan case until it is almost too late, when the two seemingly unrelated events converge in a chilling act of violence and evil that will challenge Alberg’s utmost powers of perception as a detective–and as a man. Winner of the Crime Writers of Canada Award of Excellence for best novel. \”A truly splendid book–compassionate, humorous, erotic, and suspenseful… Stayed with me long after I turned the last page.\” –Jonathan Kellerman, author of Self-Defense
