The nightmare began on a warm summer night. A six-year-old boy was found in a park shack, bludgeoned to death in the quiet residential district of Montreal's Notre-Dame-de-Grace. Soon after, an eight-year-old boy disappeared. Horror and fear gripped the city. Neighbourhoods went silent. Suspects were questioned, suspicion and alarm mounts. No arrests were ever made. When Lieutenant Detective Damiano discovers the cold case many years later and learns that the three suspects are still alive, she's hooked, on what cops call a Detective's Case. Her partner, Detective Pierre Matte, hesitantly agrees to work with her. They meet Kathryn Flynn, the ninety-year-old mother, who has kept meticulous files throughout the years--her hope has never faltered. Damiano and Matte rediscover what binds them, a reckoning for the murderers among us and justice for the victims who have no voice.
"The third Toni Damiano novel from Kindellan-Sheehan takes the central character a bit further into her own past and not-too-happy present. It also presents a nice puzzle plot with clues, herrings and settings so beloved by crime readers." - Margaret Cannon, The Globe and Mail
"Kindellan-Sheehan returns with another fast-paced, don't-think-you're-going-to-put-it-down-just-yet mystery. The quick tempo of the narrative is rivaled only by the author's ability to both celebrate and condemn her characters' flaws. You will be riveted by the ending!" --Brenda O'Farrell, Montreal Gazette
"Mystery buffs will enjoy twists, turns, and characters they will learn to love--then despise with equal abandon. This is her best yet." --Scott Taylor, The Ottawa Sun
"This well-crafted puzzle is filled with the kind of plot twists readers love." --Margaret Cannon, The Globe and Mail
