A Clean Kill

"There's no rest tonight for Reid Bennett, police chief of tiny Murphy's Harbor in Canada. Not if he keeps getting phone calls, that is. The first comes in from Amy Wilson. She's been raped on her arrival home from play rehearsal. The second has Reid breaking up a fight at a bar called Murphy's Arms. But, the third call about a dead body is when things get complicated. The body belongs to one of the night's bar brawlers, an American tourist now stabbed to death in the road. It seems like there's an obvious murder suspect until another body shows up in the lake. Are these murders and the rape somehow intertwined? Reid must wade carefully through the evidence and the witnesses, all the while juggling pressure from a hostile city council and unwelcome reporters. Add in the town play, bear baiters, and American evangelicals, and Reid has his hands more than full. Thankfully, he's got his dog Sam by his side. The action explodes and bodies keep piling up in A CLEAN KILL, the fast-paced crime thriller from one of Canada's favorite crime authors, Ted Wood."
