A retired Scotland Yard detective is lured back to work in “a series to follow particularly for Louise Penny fans and the Masterpiece Mystery set” (Library Journal). Chief Insp. Peter Cammon is supposed to be retired, but he’s reluctantly agreed to travel to Canada to retrieve the body of a murdered colleague. And once he’s involved, he can’t resist delving into the oddities of the crime. His fellow cop was brutally attacked, run over by a car, and then dumped into a canal—all seemingly linked to the theft of three letters from the American Civil War era, one of which may have been signed by John Wilkes Booth . . . “Tightly plotted and featuring a lead character who keeps us glued to the page, the book should definitely suit readers looking for an intriguing lead character and a solid mystery.” —Booklist

The Verdict on Each Man Dead

By: David Whellams

From an Arthur Ellis Award finalist: “An intelligently plotted and layered mystery set in the Mormon heartland” (Brenda Chapman, author of Turning Secrets). Peter Cammon is now retired from New Scotland Yard. Nevertheless, the former chief inspector has found himself in the suburbs of Salt Lake City, Utah, after agreeing to help a colleague with a difficult case. A resident on tranquil Hollis Street has been beheaded, her husband has disappeared, and there is no obvious perpetrator. Yet the neighbors seem apathetic—silent to the point of complicity. Peter joins the manhunt and is shocked to discover a link leading from the killer to the Unabomber and Oklahoma City bombing cases, files Peter himself worked on during the 1990s. To untangle the evidence, Peter and his acquaintance in local law enforcement must strike unholy alliances with corrupt cops, Mexican drug lords, and perhaps one of the world’s most notorious terrorists . . . . “Thrilling . . . Whellams, whose thirty-year career in criminal law lends authenticity to his writing, weaves the plot seamlessly through a variety of events to keep readers guessing. This intense, suspenseful, well-crafted mystery will make readers glad that Cammon has not retired.” —Publishers Weekly
