Publisher's Synopsis
The world is full of dead bodies...
Disgraced former Royal Canadian Mounted Police Corporal Jean Whitlock has returned to her hometown of Milton, Ontario, to try to put her life back together.
It's not working out very well.
There is a body in the Mill Pond that Jean knows far too much about. The obsessed Mountie sergeant who tried to rape her in Afghanistan and then left her for dead, has shown up in Milton, once again threatening her life.
Before she knows it, Jean is entangled in a dark web of blackmail, murder, local corruption, and a far-reaching criminal conspiracy. She must learn all over again that the peaceful small town where she grew up isn't so peaceful anymore.
The Mill Pond is Ron Base's riveting follow-up to The Escarpment, the first Milton Mystery.
