Description

A promising young artist, dead—hanging in his Saskatoon loft…

Just another suicide? His parents don’t think so. They convince Noah Carey to investigate.

Haunted by the death of his sister, coping with the pressures of imminent fame, did Ronnie Robinson finally give in to his demons?

Carey’s investigation takes some unexpected turns, leading him into the shadowy world of high-end art and a desperate scheme.

Noah Carey is not your normal tough-guy private eye. A retired historian turned investigator, he rides a bike and hates guns. But as the details he uncovers begin to take shape, Carey must put his life on the line—and he won’t stop until he has the whole picture.

Theft. Crime. And a brush with death.

Welcome to Noah Carey’s life.
