THIS CASE WILL CLOSE. THE DAMAGE WON'T.
Detective Sergeant Water Kascade is still hunting the corruption he swore to root out of the Toronto Police Service. When an extremist group's protest at Queen's Park erupts into violence, nineteen people fall and a twenty-four-hour deadline begins.
Kascade follows investigations through political turmoil, rumours of criminals being robbed and a network funding the violence from the inside. But as the deadline ticks down, every answer reveals deeper questions. Every connection points to places that will test everything he believes.
Some investigations expose corruption. This one exposes everything.
