About the Book

Who fired the single shot that killed Damon Pound, QC as he sat beside his pool, smoking his cigar and drinking a single malt Scotch? What was the secret project he was working on before his death and what did it have to do with the North American Free Trade Agreement? Was his death politically motivated? Could the CIA be involved? Or was his murder an act of personal revenge? These were the questions that plagued veteran RCMP Inspector Steven Marchant as he tried to put the jig-saw pieces together. A dissident group-Citizens for Justice-claimed responsibility for the murder, but Marchant wasn't convinced. And why did he feel the shooter wanted to be caught? The story is a battle of wits between two men, leading to a dramatic courtroom drama with a completely unexpected conclusion. In the end, only Inspector Marchant... and the shooter... know the whole story.
