Publisher Description
Fans of Louise Penny and Michael Connelly, meet exasperating homicide detective Michael Green in this gripping police procedural.
Ottawa homicide inspector Michael Green is absolutely obsessed with his job, a condition that has almost ruined his marriage several times. When the biggest case of his career comes up, his position, his relationships, and several lives are put in grave danger. A young graduate student, the scion of a rich family, is found expertly stabbed in the stacks of a university library, but no one seems to have the slightest idea why.
As Green probes into the circumstances of the young man’s life, a tangled web of jealousy and intrigue is revealed. Green finds himself in the middle of a rivalry in the delicate arena of university politics, where gigantic egos regularly collide. Was it the diligent but socially inept researcher or the macho ladies-man golden boy of the laboratory? Or was it a crime of passion involving the over-protective family of his beautiful new girlfriend? When the murderer strikes again, Green realizes that he must waste no time in solving the case, no matter what the consequences may be.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Barbara Fradkin’s first Michael Green mystery is confident and authoritative, just like the psychologist-turned-author’s bullheaded hero. When the homicide inspector’s brought in to investigate a high-profile stabbing in the University of Ottawa’s library, he’s forced to delicately navigate a fraught political landscape. As Green rushes from murder scene to suspect interviews and back again, Do or Die builds up an authentic sense of urgency and sets the scene for future thrillers.
