Publisher Description
Sent to Ottawa to attend a seminar on anti-terrorism in advance of a trade summit, Toronto Police Inspector John Sanders has nothing more on his mind than getting through the tiresome sessions. But from his first encounter with Harriet Jeffries, an architectural photographer, Sanders finds himself attracted to the headstrong woman.
Intent on completing an important photo shoot, Harriet doesn’t notice until it’s too late that her work contains evidence of a meeting that those in the photograph would do anything—including murder—to conceal. And when Sanders and Harriet’s investigation crosses paths with an active terrorism investigation at the very highest levels of law enforcement, the unlikely pair find they are the only ones who can stop an assassination.
Murder in Focus is the second novel in the John Sanders/Harriet Jeffries mystery series.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Applying the duplicity and distrust of espionage thrillers to branches of Canadian law enforcement, Sale ( Murder on the Run ) introduces a new series with this complicated but believable tale. Toronto's Inspector John Sanders, in Ottawa prior to an international trade conference, is with architectural photographer Harriet Jeffries when she takes a shot linking two men who would rather not be seen together. Her apartment is later ransacked, as is the motel room they move to. John suspects the photo is connected with the recent death of a construction worker, even before he discovers the dead man was an undercover agent in the Canadian Security Intelligence System. Pitting CSIS, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and combined Armed Forces against one another, Sale constructs a complex plot, including a plan to assassinate Austria's prime minister, without forecasting the identity of the highly placed traitor. In perilous circumstances, John luckily remembers a seemingly unrelated detail in time for him and Harriet to escape death, with the promise of more adventures to come.
