About this ebook
Robin Harris grew up watching the sixties show Spy Squad, starring his dad, Evan Harris. So when the police deem the mysterious death of a Russian woman with rainbow-colored hair a suicide, Robin knows better.
Robin soon finds himself in the middle of an awesome plot that seems to be lifted directly from one of his father’s old episodes, and, as he discovers, his father really was a spy. Now Robin and his brothers have inadvertently walked onto the scene of a real life-and-death spy drama, and as far as the free world is concerned, Robin’s entrance into the family business comes not a moment too soon.

Winona's novella Salty Dog Blues was published in Sisters in Crime-Canada West's anthology Crime Wave in October 2020. Salty Dog Blues was nominated as a finalist in Crime Writers of Canada's Awards of Excellence for Best Crime Novella in April 2021. Another Jason Davey short story, Blue Devil Blues, was one of the four entries in a new anthology, Last Shot, published in June 2021.
