A body has been found in an old mine shaft on an island near Algonquin
Bay. Detective John Cardinal has been assigned the investigation. Lise
Delorme has been assigned to work with him on the case, he would have
preferred Ian McLeod. What Cardinal doesn't know is that Delorme is
checking up on him on behalf of Special Investigations.
There are
two other young people missing; a young boy who inexplicably
disappears, just like the young girl, which the body turns out to be, and a 17 year old girl from Toronto. Cardinal's boss, Don Dyson,
refuses to believe that it is murder until the younger girl's body has
been found.
Cardinal begins to go through old cases of missing
young people in hopes of finding something similar. His investigation
leads him to another body of a young boy. With the body is found a
cassette tape, which provides surprising information, but not enough to
nail the killer, whoever that may be.
Meantime the killer has
picked up another victim, and is keeping him drugged. Delorme still has
to go through with the investigation of her partner, and what she has
found appears incriminating.
Author Giles Blunt has done a
wonderful job of getting into the minds of the criminals and police in
this murder mystery. The climax of the story is exciting and makes for
tense reading. It was a book I couldn't put down, I highly recommend
it.
