Synopsis

It's sunny days for Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg, even as everyone else in Canada is shivering. The magnificent Cassandra Mitchell, who has a disconcerting habit of disappearing from both the town of Sechelt and Alberg's bed, has appeared once again. And though Alberg is effectively the police chief, the most press¬ing thing on his desk right now is the spunky old lady who has apparently absconded from her retirement home most likely, it's widely believed, in search of a good martini.

But a storm is brewing for Alberg, just a few miles down the peninsula. Zoe Strachan was an angry child, and she's grown into an angry, if eerily seductive woman. Over the years, she has built up elaborate structures to contain her anger, but now those structures have been shattered. Arefugee from big-city policing, Alberg thinks he's seen it all. But he's not even going to know what hit him.
