Final Look

One island. 500 people. One murderer.

Can police officer Christine Lane flush out the killer before the next victim falls? 

"Original and entrancing."--Maureen Jennings, author of Murdoch Mysteries

Christine Lane's transfer to the idyllic community of Toronto Island has buried her policing career and any chance of promotion. One week into her new patrol, a protest on Toronto Island devolves into a riot. Christine lands up in the hospital and an Islander is found dead. 

The deputy chief questions Christine's toughness and suggests she return to the tamer landscape of the Women's Bureau. Scrambling to save her job and find justice for the victim, Christine doubles down on her investigation into the Islander's  death. 

When the murderer realizes Christine is on the trail, a cat and mouse game ensues. Will it be Christine or the killer caught in the trap?

Final Look is the first book in a mystery series debuting Christine Lane as a policewoman patrolling Toronto in the 1960s. Forced to prove herself daily in the job, Christine uses her integrity, grit and six-foot height to fight crime, even if it means she becomes a target herself.
