Advance Praise

"The fourth Stonechild and Rouleau mystery offers, like its predecessors, an entertaining mixture of character, plot, and environment; Kingston is more than a setting; it's vital to the story in the same way the characters are. This is a complex and suspenseful mystery. Recommend it highly to crime-fiction fans looking for a new author." -Booklist
