"Karl Alberg was a big-city cop before moving to the "Sunshine Coast" of Canada. He solved crimes involving gangsters, druglords, real low-lifes. He can't possibly be stumped by a murder in this sweet little town? But he is. The woman was found propped against a tree, her pretty face scrubbed clean, and her slender neck slit from one side to the other. And that is all anyone can tell Alberg. Her name? Not so much. So Alberg hires a local artist to draw her picture; maybe someone will recognize her...without, you know, the sliced-up neck. It's a brilliant idea. The answers pour in. And they all point to one potential suspect, which should make Alberg very happy. But it doesn't."--Publisher

In a small village on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast, Zoe Strachan has carefully tucked away a secret past and is living a secluded, private, and happy life. But when her brother arrives on the scene with incriminating childhood diaries--and a blackmail demand--Zoe's fate falls into the hands of Royal Mounted Police Staff Sergeant Karl Allberg, who must use all his wits to unravel the mystery.

An einem Tag wie jedem anderen erschlägt ein 14jähriger in einer kanadischen Kleinstadt seine Eltern mit einer Machete. Hilfe naht von Sergeant Alberg, der sich vor 15 Jahren an einer tödlichen Tragödie in seiner Nachbarschaft mitschuldig machte.
