Nobody knew who she was, this attractive blonde propped up against a tree in the rain. Nobody knew where she was going on this secluded stetch of the Sunshine Coast highway of British Columbia. But had someone considerately dropped her off here with her hair combed, her face clean, and her throat slashed.
Much as they'd like to, nobody in the sleepy hamlet of Sechelt knows anything about the death. So Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg has to start from scratch. But he finds his mind being distracted by Cassandra Mitchell, the local librarian with whom he has an on-again, off-again relationship, and her infatuation with a flirtatious actor visiting from Los Angeles. As Alberg struggles to separate jealousy from suspicion, the killer stalks the sleepy town, and only another murder can lead Alberg to the horrifying truth.
