RED PAINT
An Alex Desocarras Mystery, Book 2

"STRIKING PROSE ... MEMORABLE CHARACTERS" -- Kirkus Reviews

An important crown witness in a case against a paedophile ring is brutally murdered. The ring operated undetected in British Columbia for years, part of a much larger operation about which the police know nothing.

The killer won't rest till he destroys another man he's convinced has the smarts to blow the hidden operation wide open - Detective Alex Desocarras.

Desocarras has been an RCMP officer for 15 years. A brilliant detective, his solve rate is legendary. Pulling the only lead in the case from a cryptic tweet, he identified the involvement of a high-ranking RCMP Inspector in the paedophile ring and was relentless in his pursuit of the officer and his brutally corrupt cohorts.

When an Indigenous hacktivist seeking information about the latest case finds a coded message hidden on an RCMP server, he risks exposure to warn Alex of its chilling contents. Desocarras is pushed headlong into a nightmare chain of events that will test the limits of his endurance against a ruthless adversary, and ultimately, force him to choose where his allegiance lies.
