Publisher info:
To Alberg, the death of Benjamin Strachan was baffling. Had his ultimely demise been precipitated by a drunken fall down his estranged sister's besement stairs? Or something far more sinister?

Alberg's search for the truth takes him to British Columbia's Sunshine Coast—and into the secluded home of Zoe Strachan, a woman of seductive beauty and shattering secrets. At the same time, Alberg investigates the sudden disappearance of an elderly widow from a village nursing home... a disappearance he doesn't connect with the Strachan case until it is almost too late—-and the two seemingly unrelated events converge in a chilling act of violence and evil that will challenge Alberg's utmost powers of perception as a detective—and as a man.
