Publisher Description
Book 4 in the John Cardinal series
In this highly anticipated fourth book from the spine-chilling John Cardinal series, Detective Cardinal confronts his most personal case yet. After years of battling depression, his wife, Catherine, is dead, and despite a suicide note written in her handwriting, Cardinal refuses to believe that she has really killed herself. Hateful notes taunting him about Catherine arrive by mail and he begins to suspect her death was an act of revenge. Cardinal is forced to work this case alone, and his investigation leads him towards a new and very different kind of criminal. One who is truly untouchable by any legal system.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Set in remote Algonquin Bay, Ontario, Blunt's compelling fourth crime novel to feature John Cardinal (after Blackfly Season) finds the police detective mourning the death of his wife, an apparent suicide. Then Cardinal starts receiving cold, hate-filled notes gloating over his loss. Stirred and angered into believing that his wife may have been murdered, he sets about looking into who might be refusing to let the dead or, more particularly, himself rest easy. Meanwhile, his partner, Lise Delorme, is busy trying to track down the pedophile responsible for a cache of appalling photos featuring a small girl who may live in or near Algonquin Bay. An unexpected yet utterly realistic twist lifts this novel into extremely interesting (and entertaining) territory. Sharp dialogue, complex characters and a satisfying conclusion should help Blunt, who has won Britain's Silver Dagger and Canada's Arthur Ellis Award, win new readers in the U.S. Author tour.
