    About this ebook

    Peter Galloway thought he’d put murder in the rear-view mirror when he left Calgary Police Services Homicide to pursue the life of a private investigator. Cheating spouses. Runaway teens. PI work is a terrific improvement over the murder of the week he’d faced the past six years as a cop. Today the gig is something unusual— a nickel and dime protection scam. He’d have this one put to bed before dinner, maybe even before he finished his coffee. His strategy to catch the culprits is turned on its head, however, when a gunshot echoes along the crowded outdoor mall. So much for leaving murder behind.
