On a cold January evening, Detective Liam Hunter and his partner are called to investigate the discovery of a woman's body in the woods on the outskirts of Ottawa. She's the missing fiancee of a wealthy businessman twice her age who claims to know nothing about her murky past.
That same evening, a young woman escapes from a downtown condo where she's been held captive. Eighteen-year-old Sara McGowan takes the fleeing woman under her wing, only to become the target of the trafficking ring desperate to get her back.
Meanwhile, reporter Ella Tate is attempting to track down an anonymous source who claims to have evidence of illegal activity that implicates people in high positions - people who will do anything to protect their reputations.
The stakes mount and lives collide as Hunter and Tate desperately work to solve a murder with tentacles more far-reaching than either can imagine.
The question is: who will survive this web of secrets unscathed?
Reviews:
"Who Lies in Wait, Brenda Chapman's riveting new Hunter and Tate mystery, opens at night in a frozen forest outside Ottawa. You can almost feel the frost as Detective Liam Hunter and his partner view the body of a murdered woman. Chapman's evocation of winter is so vivid that it's almost a character. The story is littered with red herrings and unexpected twists. This compulsively readable tale will keep you up past your bedtime as you try to unravel the mesmerizing mystery." - Don Butler, author of Norman's Conquest
"With WHO LIES IN WAIT, Brenda Chapman's fourth novel in her Hunter and Tate mystery series, the Ottawa author has crafted a twisty, expertly plotted page turner, grounded in a wonderfully evocative sense of place, with richly developed characters that confirm Chapman's place as one of Canada's doyennes of crime fiction." - John Delacourt, author of The Black State
"The story is complex and compelling while further developing the various characters and their arcs. So, well done!" - Allister Thompson, Editor
