About the Book
In this work of crime fiction, RCMP sergeant Ray Robertson is working with the United Nations in Haiti when he's called to investigate the death of a Haitian woman.Book Synopsis
This is the second in a series featuring RCMP sergeant Ray Robertson on his various postings overseas.
RCMP sergeant Ray Robertson is serving with the United Nations in Haiti, a land of brilliant color and vibrant life, Vodou and vast above-ground cemeteries. Ray's job is to train the local police and assist investigations. One call comes in from the home of a wealthy American businessman. The man came home to find his beautiful, young Haitian wife floating face down in the swimming pool. The American embassy and the Haitian police immediately arrest the gardener, and the case is closed. But Ray isn't so sure, and he keeps digging. Until one night he finds himself in a Vodou-saturated cemetery, surrounded by above-ground tombs and elaborate statuary, confronting a killer with nothing left to lose.
