Serpents Rising

A private investigator and a journalist take on a ruthless gang in Calgary to rescue a runaway and find justice for themselves. In 2005, journalist Adam Cullens wife, Donna, is killed by an arsonist. In desperation after police, fire department, and insurance investigators all give up trying to find the culprit, Cullen hires private detective Mike Cobb, but he, too, is stymied. Seven years later, Cobb re-enters Cullens life. A search for a crack-addicted teenage runaway is tangled up with Calgarys most ruthless criminal organization and a possible lead on Donnas killer. The parallel investigations take the two onto Calgarys meanest streets, populated by a vicious biker gang, a silky-smooth pedophile, and an assortment of people who arent at all what they seem. As they weave their way through long-buried secrets, Cullen and Cobb will come face-to-face with a cruelty they could never have expected and a killer about to strike again.
