About this ebook

From the author of Hidden Agenda, a reporter and amateur sleuth gets wrapped up in a murder case involving a wealthy recluse and international espionage.

Toronto’s a big city, and corpses are always turning up, but rarely are they so very well-dressed.

Judith Hayes is a well-respected journalist, and interviews are always turning up, but rarely with super-reclusive billionaires.

Finally, the world of mystery fiction is rooted in unlikely connections, the hidden strands that tie un-guessed-at motivations to unexpected acts, but rarely do those strands create such a tangled web as in Mortal Sins, leading Judith and her cop-boyfriend from New York to Bermuda to Paris and at last to Hungary, where the billionaire’s wartime childhood proves to have been the breeding ground for secrets that have stretched terrible tendrils to the edge of the twenty-first century. A deviously plotted thriller with a spy-story kicker and a froth of romance to help the espionage slide down.

Praise for Mortal Sins
