Publisher's Synopsis
A small town - sleepy, remote, safe...and unprepared when a deadly visitor comes calling Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef of Port Dundas, Canada, is making her way towards retirement with something less than grace. Hobbled by a bad back and blindsided by her recent divorce, 61-year-old Hazel has only the constructive criticism of her old goat of a mother to buoy her. But when a Port Dundas woman is found murdered in her home - with no sign of resistance and her mouth sculpted into a strangely meaningful shape - Hazel's bickering department springs to life. And as more bodies are found, she must confront a clamouring press and the town's rumour mill whilst she edges ever closer to this terrifyingly inventive killer.
