Calgary, Alberta - City of oil barons and equestrians; saints and sinners; the exquisitely rich and the desperately poor... and murderers.
Detective Chris Crane knows all these worlds. He knows the high stakes games played by the politicians and business leaders, and what some will do to get to the top - or stay there. He knows how the criminal underworld seethes with power plays and high risk gambles where the rewards are great and the consequences deadly. His investigations bring us not just through the mean back streets of downtown Calgary, but the boardrooms and bedrooms of the city's most powerful residents.
Whether the victim is a drug dealer who made one mistake too many, or a Cabinet minister who crossed the wrong people in his plans for the Alberta oil sands, Chris knows he races against time. Put the right people behind bars, and he can keep more bodies out of the morgue.
The last of the Chris Crane detective novels, Murder on the Bow will be sure to entertain readers who have grown to love John Ballem's fast-paced action and insider knowledge of how power really works in Canada's oil capital.
Genre: Mystery
