- Book 8 of 9: Alberg & Cassandra
What causes the teenager to go berserk? He's not talking, especially not to Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg, head of the Canadian Mountie unit in the beautiful, coastal town of Sechelt.
Eliot's motives for destroying his family lie buried deep in his wounded psyche. Only when he escapes from a temporary detention center with a younger boy, Alvin, does he begin to focus on reality. The boys must find a way to eat and sleep. They must try to survive.
Karl wants to help Eliot or at least understand what led to the family's tragedy. But Karl has concerns of his own, when someone from his past arrives in town. His name is Jack Coutts, and he's a man burdened with malice, with guilt, and, as his lustful landlady discovers, with a gun. Wherever Alberg and his fiancee, Cassandra Mitchell, go, Coutts is there, watching and waiting.

From the Inside Flap
Some say Eliot is a bad seed. RCMP Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg doesn't buy that. But the case weights heavily on him, for he knew the Gardeners and he should have seen something coming. And now, poisoning the joy of his and Cassandra Mitchell's wedding plans, a piece of his own past--the survivor of another shattered family--is stalking him. Someone else he's failed. Someone who wants revenge.
And until he can lay to rest the madness of that past, Alberg cannot hope to enter the silent mind of Eliot, where a time bomb is ticking away.
