Early one morning, Detective Inspector Michael Green of the Ottawa Police is called in to the
office of the Chief of Detectives Jules. Awaiting with him is Deputy
Chief of Police Lynch. They tell him of a young man being stabbed in
the library at the university the night before. The victim is the son
of a well known philanthropist. DS Brian Sullivan tells Green that the
case has been a mess up right from the get go.
Based on the reports from his team, Green determines that the killer is
well planned, able to kill at close range, and possibly a psychopath.
He has five possible suspects who were well known to the victim.
However, Sullivan comes up with a few more. The victim’s current
girlfriend had been pulled away from him by what appeared to be thugs in
a coffee shop. She then flew home to Beirut. Could there be something
in this?
Before Green can get protection in place for a potential witness, she is
killed. He is compromised. The killer had taken two of her drawings;
one of a suspect and one of the victim. Green is told by the Deputy
Chief to get an arrest immediately or he will be tossed from the case.
However, Green is convinced that the man the Deputy Chief wants him to
arrest has been framed.
How can he gather the needed evidence when he is on a limited time
frame? Author Barbara Fradkin picks up the pace of this thriller as
Green closes in on the killer. A good, quick read
