Riassunto

Canada's award-winning "queen of crime fiction" is back with Acts of Murder, the ninth title in the acclaimed Karl Alberg series.

Mrs. O'Hara had heard nothing, has thought her husband Tom was out.  She looked up quickly, stumbling in her shock, and her hand flew from the railing as she lost her balance.  Tom was standing directly beneath the light...behind him, slightly shorter than he, huddled against his back like a shadow, was a white specter with long hair...

The sleepy Sunshine Coast town of Sechelt, B.C., is once again beset by crime and only Karl Alberg can solve the mystery. Three people have been found murdered, by someone known as "the avenging Angel," a killer who has assumed the responsibility of ridding the village of those who sin, those who betray.

This latest case also brings with it some life-changing surprises for Alberg and his love, Cassandra Mitchell.  But theirs are only two of the lives that will be irreparably changed by the murderous activities of an angel straight from hell.

With the help of his striking new sergeant, Edwina Henderson, Alberg must race against time to prevent the killer from claiming another victim.
