**Impetuous, exasperating Ottawa Police Inspector Michael Green returns
and unwittingly puts his daughter, a rookie patrol officer, in the line
of fire.
"For those who like a solid classic mystery with added character,
Inspector Green is perfect." --Globe and Mail**
Sidelined to administrative duties, Inspector Michael Green misses the
thrill of the chase. So when his daughter Hannah, now a rookie patrol
officer, responds to a 911 call about a domestic disturbance in a
wealthy suburban neighbourhood, he is intrigued. Both husband and wife
deny a problem and, despite Hannah's doubts, no further police action is
taken, but Green encourages her to dig deeper on her own. When the
husband disappears and his car is found at the airport, the police
conclude he is simply fleeing an unhappy home, a floundering law
practice, and a mountain of debt. Until a body is discovered.
While Green's old friend Brian Sullivan investigates the victim's work
and family, Hannah is haunted by fear that her actions precipitated the
murder. On her own time, she begins to dig into questions that linger at
the periphery of the case. What has happened to the family dog, which
disappeared the same night as the husband? And who is the odd, solitary
young Ph.D. student who was researching ducks near the murder site? Her
relentless search for answers leads her into the countryside, straight
into the path of danger. And another body.
