4.9/5 (21083 ratings)

Description:'Terse characterization and screwed-up tension' - ObserverAll Jack Willows wants is a holiday — from work, from family, from life. But when you’re a cop, you’re never off the clock, and when he stumbles across the body of a young girl up in the mountains, he finds himself headed back to reality and the city of Vancouver more quickly than he’d hoped. Events become more tangled when Jack learns that in his absence his partner, Claire Parker, discovered the brutally murdered and mutilated body of a boy — a case that looks to be somehow connected to his own. Mannie Katz is a sleazy, two-bit low-life who fancies himself a professional killer. So when Felix hands him his first contract, for three teenagers, Mannie reckons it’ll be an easy job. But things rapidly start to spin out of his control, pushing him closer and closer to Vancouver’s finest. As the two detectives hunt for their killer, Mannie finds himself frantically trying to keep one step ahead… Praise for Laurence Gough ‘Jack Willows and Claire Parker…look to have the stamina for many future yarns’ — The Times ‘Terse characterization and screwed-up tension take this new author into the McBain class at one stride’ — Observer Laurence Gough resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, the city and its scenic surroundings providing the backdrop to his novels.
