Sinossi

“A delicious read.” — Iona Whishaw, author of the Lane Winslow mystery series
		 
For readers of The Thursday Murder Club comes a lighthearted mystery with an incredible sense of place
		 
A swine barn explodes near a lakeside town, putting veterinarian Dr. Peter Bannerman on a collision course with murder and a startling conspiracy.
		 
Peter is an odd duck, obsessed with logic and measurable facts, an obsession he puts to good use in his veterinary practice. When a murder is connected to the swine barn explosion and his friend Tom becomes the prime suspect, Peter feels compelled to put his reasoning skills, and his dog Pippin’s remarkable nose, to use to help clear him.
		 
The situation darkens with a second murder and a series of break-ins, including at Peter’s house and clinic, but Peter has a hard time knowing when he is out of his depth, despite warnings from his brother-in-law Kevin, an RCMP officer. 
		 
Ultimately Peter finds himself out in the middle of a frozen lake during a blizzard, fighting for his life and confronting a horrifying realization he had been blind to all along.

    Can DCI Walker stop whoever it is before things get completely out of hand?  
    When the Head Clown at Blackpool Tower Circus turns up dead in suspicious circumstances, a criminal investigation ensues, headed by DCI Walker. But when another body turns up just days later, with the same modus operandi, the double homicide becomes the talk of the town. The murderer, calling himself The Defender, wants people to be kinder to each other, and he’s prepared to kill to make it happen. 
    Sometimes, you have to be cruel to be kind. 
    What starts as a cat and mouse chase soon transforms into a stampede—the Kindness Matters Movement emerges via an online forum, and things start to get complicated. It comes to a head on Bonfire Night, when a small army of copycats and followers do the bidding of their Defender, leading to a night of death and destruction.
