Synopsis: A retired Scotland Yard detective is lured back to work in &“a series to follow particularly for Louise Penny fans and the Masterpiece Mystery set&” (Library Journal). Chief Insp. Peter Cammon is supposed to be retired, but he&’s reluctantly agreed to travel to Canada to retrieve the body of a murdered colleague. And once he&’s involved, he can&’t resist delving into the oddities of the crime. His fellow cop was brutally attacked, run over by a car, and then dumped into a canal—all seemingly linked to the theft of three letters from the American Civil War era, one of which may have been signed by John Wilkes Booth . . . &“Tightly plotted and featuring a lead character who keeps us glued to the page, the book should definitely suit readers looking for an intriguing lead character and a solid mystery.&” —Booklist
