Summary

In Quebec, about one in seven people has a criminal record. 


Julien Dion has never had a job. Even in a labour shortage, companies don't hire schizophrenic ex-convicts in their 30s without work experience. 


Participating in a weekend of clinical trials in exchange for a fee becomes an interesting solution, unless you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. 


Plunged unaware into the heart of a police investigation and haunted by the ghosts of his past, the young man will have to learn to ignore other people's opinions and accept who he is to reintegrate into society and finally live the life he covets. But can people really get rid of labels? 


Judi is the first novel in a thriller trilogy that includes Freedom 56 and Hook.
Available since: 12/17/2024.

    Could a cold case murder hold the key to a recent brutal killing? 
    Spring 1930. In the quiet streets of Craynebrook, a sinister presence lurks in the shadows, ready to pounce on the unsuspecting women of the suburban London town. After every attack, the assailant disappears into the night, leaving behind no trace, no witnesses, and no clues for Detective Inspector Matthew Stannard to investigate. 
    Until one attack turns deadly, and a reporter suggests a connection to a local, unsolved murder. Matthew’s willing to consider there might be a connection between the two killings, but his fellow policemen are doubtful there’s anything to be gained by digging up an old murder. As Matthew’s suspect list grows longer, and with a dearth of tangible evidence, he’s forced to consider they could be right and his confidence in his ability to find the murderer wavers. 
    Should Matthew search for a motive in a forgotten murder mystery and risk being led down the wrong path? Or should his investigation stay focused on the recent killing and risk going nowhere?
