The smallest of small-time criminals, Ernest Stickley Jr.
figures his luck's about to change when Detroit used car salesman
Frank Ryan catches him trying to boost a ride from Ryan's lot.
Frank's got some surefire schemes for getting rich quick--all of
them involving guns--and all Stickley has to do is follow "Ryan's
Rules" to share the wealth. But sometimes rules need to be bent,
maybe even broken, if one is to succeed in the world of crime,
especially if the "brains" of the operation knows less than
nothing.

DID CANADA'S FAVOURITE RADIO HOST COMMIT MURDER?
Kevin Brace, Canada's most famous radio personality, stands in the
doorway of his luxury condominium, hands covered in blood, and
announces to his newspaper delivery man: "I killed her." His wife
lies dead in the bathtub, fatally stabbed. It would appear to be an
open-and-shut case.
The trouble is, Brace refuses to talk to anyone--including his own
lawyer--after muttering those incriminating words. With the
discovery that the victim was actually a self-destructive
alcoholic, the appearance of strange fingerprints at the crime
scene, and a revealing courtroom cross-examination, the seemingly
simple case takes on all the complexities of a hotly contested
murder trial.
In the tradition of defence lawyers turned authors like Scott Turow
and John Grisham, Robert Rotenberg delivers a legal thriller rich
with his forensic skill and insider knowledge, taking readers on a
tour of Toronto from the Don Jail to the towers of Bay Street and
into the shadowy corridors of the Old City Hall courthouse.
Bryden and Sam have it all - thriving careers, a smart apartment in a
luxury condo, supportive friends and a cherished daughter.
The perfect life for the perfect couple.
Then Sam receives a call at his office. Bryden – working from home that
day - has failed to collect their daughter from daycare.
Arriving home with their little girl, he finds his wife’s car in the
underground garage. Upstairs in their apartment her laptop is open on
the table, her phone nearby, her keys in their usual place in the hall.
Except Bryden is nowhere to be seen. It’s as if she just walked out.
How can she have disappeared from her own home? And did she even leave
the building at all?
With every minute that passes – and as questions swirl around their
community – Bryden and Sam’s past seems a little less perfect, their
luxury condo less safe, their friends, neighbours and relatives no
longer quite so reliable . . .

Following weeks of heavy rain, the earth comes crumbling down on one of
Larvik’s residential areas, burying a handful of houses.
Detective William Wisting is quick to join the rescue operation.
Luckily, by sunrise the next day, it becomes clear that the landslide
has claimed no victims.
And yet, just twenty-four hours later, a body is found – and the victim
was killed before the landslide.
As Wisting opens an investigation into the mysterious murder, he soon
discovers this death might have dangerous ties to a series of ongoing
cases.
And the clues start leading Wisting not towards an enemy on the outside
– but to a traitor in his own unit…
