What you need to know before your trail
Ex-mayor Bob Swatsky has gone missing with 13 million dollars of tax-payers’ money. Has he done the seemingly obvious or is something more sinister at stake? Before he disappeared, he is suspected to have brutally attached his young nephew. Could the two cases be linked in ways that might not at first be obvious? Just what is going on ?
Travel Guide
The idea for the novel according to the author’s website came from a visit he had at Oahu when he went on a tour of a US military cemetery where bodies were buried at twelve and six feet, in the same hole, to save real estate. The way in which bodies were buried and how a mystery in a cemetery could work and bring so many issues to the fore seems to have been a major reason for his Detective Lane novels. The sheer size and scope of the cemetery and park seem to be ideal for a mystery setting.
As you stroll around Calgary and the sights for the booktrail, the story of tax evasion and murder seem not to fit – but that is what makes it so sinister for aren’t the most chilling and suspenseful reads set in beautiful locations?
