Is love stronger than bootlegging, ghosts, and murder?

One missing uncle. One missing child. And a river that could kill them both.

“Sizzling! I read the whole thing in one day, heart pounding, totally gripped by the action.” —Dr. Eileen Sacks, General Surgeon

One of the best crime novels of 2016, as chosen by CBC's The Next Chapter.
Two doctors. One killer. One woman in labour.

When Dr. Hope Sze trades the crime-ridden city of Montreal for a fishing trip with her dad, she expects misty lakes and crimson maple leaves. In other words, a perfect family fun day. Then Hope’s mother—never the sharpest scalpel in the neighbourhood—drags along crazy uncle Leonard, transforming Black Donald Lake into a very dark place.

A story of three women, linked by blood and diamonds.
