The long-awaited second novel in the J.M. Walsh Mystery Series that began with Geronimo's Cadillac. Struggling to avoid bankruptcy, ex-Mounted Police officer James M. Walsh is hired to investigate the death of a young Blackfoot woman in a suspicious house fire. The woman's father, Chief William Starblanket, wants answers. And the police aren't helping. Suspicions point to the woman's husband, a Canadian Army veteran wounded in Afghanistan; his wealthy and reclusive Alberta business family; and a shadowy private "security" firm with a reputation for illegal black ops. Walsh's investigation takes him from the wilderness of the Canadian Rockies into the "urban wilderness" of corporate Alberta where a legion of lawyers obstruct investigation and a brave investigative journalist risks becoming the next victim.
