In a gripping narrative, Detective Superintendent MacNeice returns to Dundurn to tackle a chilling killing spree after his suspension. He investigates a wounded runner and a blood trail leading to two homicide sites in a Carolinian forest, where no bodies are found. The discovery of a corpse in a lightning-struck orchard raises questions about the connection between the cases. As MacNeice races against time to prevent further violence, he faces the urgent abduction of a university professor, intensifying the urgency of his mission.

In the third installment of the MacNeice Mysteries series, two seemingly unrelated murders lead Detective Superintendent MacNeice and his team into the dive bars and rooming houses of Dundurn, where Irish immigrants rub elbows with mercenaries and the city's criminal underclass.

While investigating the murder of a beautiful young violinist found gracefully posed on the floor of a remote summer cottage, Detective Superintendent MacNeice and his team become entangled in Eastern Europe's ancient grievances in the first installment of the MacNeice Mysteries series.

Two bodies have been found in the master bedroom of a mansion in Dundurn's old-money neighbourhood under the mountain. Howard Terry and his son Matthew have both been shot twice in the chest. Under Matthew's body is a doll with blood red cotton wadding spilling out of its head. Nearby, a female mannequin in a nightshirt lies on its back with two bullet holes in the chest. On the other side of town, a body is discovered below the Devil's Punch Bowl waterfall. Leaning against an enormous rock is a man in a cotton nightshirt wearing a papier m ch donkey's head. Two rounds in the chest. Something about the way the bodies have been arranged triggers a memory in MacNeice of an image he saw years before . . .

"In the second installment of the MacNeice Mysteries series, Detective Superintendent MacNeice and his team return to face off against a gang of violent bikers and a bloodthirsty serial killer targeting successful young women of colour on the streets of Dundurn."--

Zwei Leichen werden in einem Herrenhaus in Dundurn, Ontario, gefunden: Howard Terry und sein Sohn Matthew wurden beide mit zwei Schüssen in die Brust getötet. Unter Matthews Körper liegt eine Puppe, aus deren Kopf blutrote Watte herausquillt. In der Nähe liegt eine Schaufensterpuppe in einem Nachthemd, ebenfalls mit zwei Einschusslöchern in der Brust. Auf der anderen Seite der Stadt wird eine weitere Leiche entdeckt: An einen riesigen Felsen gelehnt liegt ein Mann im Baumwollnachthemd, der einen Eselskopf aus Pappmaché trägt. Wieder zwei Kugeln in der Brust. Irgendetwas an der Art, wie die Leichen arrangiert wurden, löst in Detective Superintendent MacNeice eine Erinnerung an ein Bild aus, das er Jahre zuvor gesehen hat ...
