In the seventh of this award-winning series, an elderly, retired psychiatrist is beaten to death one night on the streets of Ottawa’s Byward Market. Suspicion falls on four gang punks caught on a nearby surveillance camera, but the investigation soon uncovers late-night visitors, stolen files, and a rewritten will that disinherits the doctor’s estranged son in favour of several former patients.

When tragedy hits close to home, Green races to track down the doctor’s mysterious young visitor, desperate to find her before the gang but unprepared for the final solution, which leaves him grappling with the ultimate meaning of justice.
