Description

Riches to rags. ... Time heals all wounds, ... but old deeds still haunt, ... even for the innocent!

After helping the captain solve his long overdue case, Doreen's reputation is well and truly cemented in Kelowna. That's proven out when a young woman is murdered in her own apartment, and the police start looking at the boyfriend. With the town on edge, this young man seeks out Doreen's help to prove his innocence.

Corporal Mack Moreau is back to light duty work—mostly keeping an eye on Doreen, if the captain has any say in it. It's hardly a hardship, as he loves being around her, when she's not dipping her toes in his active cases. And yet somehow she manages to find old cases that dovetail with his ongoing ones, giving her an exaggerated opinion of where her boundaries are.

What seems simple on the surface goes back into history to a case that was done and dusted, with the killer now out free, looking for revenge. But, of course, it's not that simple or that easy; and, by the time Doreen and her animal crew are done, the world has shifted for more than just one person in this case.
