A man s violent, early-morning death on the freezing pavement of a west-end convenience store parking lot in Canada s capital city appears at first to be just another random act of gang violence. But is it?
The dead man has no identification, and his associate has mysteriously vanished. One of the victim s fingerprints is linked to the unsolved murder of a young woman more than twenty years earlier. When Inspector Matt Armitage begins investigating the cold case, he uncovers a second, identical, unsolved murder. This one took place years later, in another city, in another country. As he works to close the case, Armitage discovers that cutting through red tape can cause serious, self-inflicted wounds.
Even if he were not a police officer, Inspector Matt Armitage of the Ottawa Police Service would be an imposing figure. He stands seventy-six inches tall in his dress socks, with a big-boned athletic frame, a thick shock of dark hair, and intense, piercing eyes the colour of Antarctic ice. He has an unblemished service record, but Armitage will probably never be promoted. His bosses believe he has one unforgivable flaw: he puts people first. He is a cop s cop, operating in a milieu that rewards careerism and mediocrity, and punishes anyone who threatens the system s status quo or the self-interest of the top brass.
An Accusing Finger was a Chanticleer Clue Awards finalist.
