At last! My fifth crime novel has been translated into English. Publication date is November 7, if everything goes according to plan. Here is the blurb because it hasn´t made its way into Goodreads yet: "A remote farm in Canada`s wilderness. A man`s lifeless body in the grass. The rooms in the farm house splattered with blood. Three children, brutally murdered. No trace of their mother.
Five years ago, family lawyer Tessa Griffins fled to Vancouver from the isolated mining town of Whatou Lake. Now she returns to her parents’ home there in order to search for the dead children’s mother, her stepsister Fran. And she wants to find the killer - just as Detective Sergeant Ron Halprin does, head of a special RCMP unit in Vancouver who is sent to Whatou Lake, to solve the case.
Tessa is stonewalled everywhere. What secrets does her father, the respected town doctor, have? And why does her mother, who had welcomed many foster children into their home, suddenly stop telling the whole truth? Does Fran lead a secret life? And why of all people is it Tessa's former boyfriend, Tsaytis Chelin from the Sitklat’l First Nation, who finds the dead bodies? On the third day, Tessa makes a gruesome discovery. As she crosses the wilderness on the track of the murderer, she finds herself under a deadly threat."
The book is ready for pre-order. So get your copy as long as it only costs 1.99 dollars US. Enjoy the read!
