Searching for Peter Griffiths
Private Detective Baker Somerset is back, and about to embark on another hair-raising mystery.
One morning, seven years ago, Peter Griffiths, an intern for a Member of Parliament, disappeared without a trace from Parliament Hill-one of the most secure buildings in Canada. At the time, he had been carrying a politically sensitive document, one of interest to the CIA. Now, his sister has requested her brother be declared legally dead, so with a multimillion-dollar insurance policy on the line, Peter's insurance company wants to investigate his disappearance before they settle the claim.
Specializing in missing persons cases, Baker Somerset has been hired to discover what happened to Peter. As she investigates, she uncovers a sex and blackmail scandal involving some of Ottawa's most powerful people. Bodies begin to pile up, and Baker soon finds out that if she continues her search she and those she loves might just disappear too . . .

The turn this book took me so by surprise and I cried as I typed Somerset's tears and fears. I was amazed to find the the sky was also crying a deluge.
I almost think this is my favourite of the Somerset books so far. I was very motivated to write about Diego Garcia, but the deepening story of the friendship between Somerset, Joe, and Keys just followed so naturally. I'm very proud of this one.
