?Winner of the Crime Writers of Canada Award for Best Crime Novel

While investigating a drowning, Inspector Green uncovers a decade-old military secret someone is desperate to keep hidden.


Inspector Green is coping with an office job, still eager to get back into the day-to-day fray of policing. His chance comes when an unidentified woman is drowned in the Ottawa River. In her possession is a Medal for Bravery from a peacekeeping mission. As Green and his team dig deeper into the military past, Green finds himself sucked not only into the murky past of a peacekeeping unit but into the high-stakes present of a federal election race. What crime was committed in Yugoslavia more than a decade ago? Is someone still killing to prevent that secret from coming to light? And does the diary of a dead soldier hold the key?

Fradkin weaves a complex problem into a novel that works on two levels; as a mystery and as a spotlight on a serious Canadian social problem. * Hamilton Spectator *
The most masterful and compelling tale yet in the series. * Ottawa Citizen *
The best yet. Solid plot and good characters. * Globe and Mail *
