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.
"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."--
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.
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 . . .
