About the Book
"Karl Alberg of the RCMP investigates the gruesome killing of an unidentified woman"--Book Synopsis
Read along with the new TV drama, streaming now on FOX TV and Hulu!
For fans of Louise Penny's Chief Inspector Gamache Mysteries.
"Wright is a master of the psychological thriller."--Booklist
Karl Alberg, currently at his wits' end, was a big-city cop before moving to sleepy little Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast of Canada. He solved crimes involving gangsters, drug lords, real low-lifes. He can't possibly be stumped by a murder in this sweet little town... But he is.
The woman was found propped against a tree, her pretty face scrubbed clean, and her slender neck slit from one side to the other. And that is all anyone can tell Alberg. Her name? Not so much. So Alberg hires a local artist to draw her picture; maybe someone will recognize her without, you know, the sliced-up neck. It's a brilliant idea. The answers pour in. And they all point to one potential suspect, which should make Alberg very happy... But it doesn't.
"Excellent writing, inventive plots and realistic characters distinguish Wright's mysteries... The suspense becomes tormenting as the author leads readers through blind alleys and, finally, to an astounding revelation adroitly concealed until the story's close."--Publishers Weekly
