It is 2047, two years since Vancouver was devastated by an earthquake and tsunami. Taylor West, Carlie Fleming, and Mai-Li Wong, and two children, Eddie Coleman, and Debbie Ross, fear retaliation from Willie Arbuckle who they banned from their group for stealing food and threatening Carlie. They leave their winter sanctuary and continue their journey to the Interior and arrive at Blackfoot and are welcomed by the Chinese and the Similkameen Band.
Chief Pete Johnson and Mai-Li, now ruler of the Chinese, tell Carlie she must exonerate Willie, as there’s no room in Blackfoot for resentment and malevolence. Taylor tells Carlie he loves her, but before they can be together, she must confront Willie. Without informing her, he leaves with Pete on an expedition. Unable to forgive Willie, Carlie is banned from Blackfoot. She returns to the cabin and Lance, Pete’s grandson, goes with her. He talks about the culture and traditions of the Similkameen people and confesses he has feelings for her.
Taylor and Pete arrive at the cabin; Lance must return to Blackfoot to undertake leadership of the Band. Carlie refuses to return and is left on her own. She discovers an interest in wildfires and while exploring one day, is captured by Lars, a violent man from Taylor’s past who has a grudge against him. She escapes and is injured when she falls from an embankment. Will help arrive in time, will she find the strength to absolve Willie, and find peace and contentment with the man she loves?

When fishermen discover a disembodied foot tied to an anchor in Voyageur’s National Park, Doug and Jill Fletcher are called in to identify the victim and the circumstances of his death.
A retired policeman’s recollections of an unsolved disappearance provides an explanation, but the dots don’t connect. The colorful locals at a resort offer plausible theories on the victim’s identity and the cause of his death. Marks on a stolen anchor and unusual knots on the frayed anchor rope offer the only concrete evidence.
S. Peters-Davis Book Review for: The Anchor Murder by Dean L. Hovey
Doug Fletcher Mystery # 18 – Excellent mystery for Doug and Jill Fletcher to investigate. Captivated by the first chapter, I couldn’t put this book down. A ‘who-done-it’ to the very end, one that keeps the reader locked in, wading through the possibilities, and there are plenty. Gripping, tense moments with the perfect cast of characters, especially Doug and Jill, as if you’ve known them all your life. Mr. Hovey’s books would make a fantastic series come to life on television.
Set in New York’s Greenwich Village, Cui Bono dramatizes the clash between justice and vengeance. Visiting investigative reporter Lucy Hunter, determined to resist speculation and uncover fact, makes her way through a landscape where fascination and horror co-exist. She ventures willingly into the darkest recesses of human imagining. Imbued with Apollonian light, able then to avoid the whiplash of the furious truths that confront her, she must establish for herself a course of action between legal responsibility and personal betrayal. Lucy’s dilemma is resolved, and the question of cui bono is answered. The court of moral judgement she envisions transcends the limitations of time that her flight of fancy inspires.
