Produktbeschreibung
When Max Berdahl, property developer and son of a prominent Jehovah's Witness family, is found murdered in a vacant home, Detective Sergeants Ray Rossini and Jimmy Tan are charged with solving the first homicide in the island community of Britannia Bay. Their investigation is stymied by the lack of forensic evidence, the failure to find the murder weapon and the reticence of the family to fully cooperate. The detectives first look to Berdahl's housing project near Vancouver for a suspect. Sexually compromised by a realtor with financial links to the dangerous 'ndrangheta, Berdahl has purchased two parcels of land but, needing property owned by an aging widow to complete his development, he uses roughshod methods to force her out. She dies soon after. Finding no viable suspects within her embittered family, Rossini and Tan begin delving into Max's personal life. An off-hand remark, and a series of chance encounters, sightings and accidents, lead to a credible suspect. But the motive for murder seems too bizarre. Can there be more to it or will their circumstantial evidence be enough for an arrest?
