Editorial reviews

With the picturesque Pacific Northwest as its backdrop, this third installment of Sandy Frances Duncan and George Szanto's Islands Investigation International series finds amateur sleuths Kyra Rachel and Noel Franklin diving into the dark underbelly of the idyllic Quadra Island to investigate the assault of a seemingly innocuous, hard-working young man with plenty of secrets of his own.

Drug-dealing and figure-skating figure into this wholly original, edge-of-your-seat mystery, which is bolstered by John Morgan's confident, nuanced performance of Duncan and Szanto's sharp dialogue and fully realized characters.

Publisher's Summary

The Islands Investigations International team is back! This time, Kyra Rachel and Noel Franklin are sleuthing around Quadra Island in the employ of Noel's old high school buddy, Jason Cooper. In a quiet wooded area of the island, Jason, his wife and two younger boys are worried for the oldest son in the family. Derek was discovered badly beaten in the woods by Campbell River and has remained in a deep coma for three weeks. Desperate to find out what happened to his son and why, Jason hires Noel and Kyra.

As the two get to know the sleepy island community, they're surprised to discover that Derek may have been in on a drug deal - but why? Others in the community describe him as a decent young man with a good head on his shoulders - what could have possibly pushed him to deal in drugs? Kyra and Noel aren't even certain the drug deal is connected to the attack, so who would want to hurt this young man and why? Kyra and Noel are determined to find out what circumstances could have drawn this happy family into such dark territory.
