Toronto Police Inspector John Sanders and architectural photographer Harriet Jeffries are an unlikely pair. Yet his no-nonsense investigative style pairs perfectly with her headstrong—and sometimes risky—approach to life.

Murder on the Run

As a dangerous killer stalks women on the streets of Toronto, a young schoolgirl is kidnapped in what appears to be an unrelated incident. But as Toronto Police Inspector John Sanders examines the evidence, he uncovers a disturbing web of false identities, drug trafficking, and worse, police corruption.

Murder in Focus

Sent to Ottawa to attend a seminar on antiterrorism in advance of a trade summit, Toronto Police Inspector John Sanders has nothing more on his mind than getting through the tiresome sessions. Intent on completing an important photo shoot, architectural photographer Harriet doesn’t notice until it’s too late that her work contains evidence of a meeting those in the photograph would do anything—including murder—to conceal. And when Sanders and Harriet’s investigation crosses paths with an active terrorism investigation at the very highest levels of law enforcement, the unlikely pair find they are the only ones that can stop an assassination.
