About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
In this second tightly paced police procedural in the award-winning series, Inspector Green is drawn into a case with a suspicious link to the past.
When an old man dies a seemingly natural death in a parking lot, only Inspector Michael Green finds it suspicious. A search of the deceased's isolated house turns up an old tool box with a hidden compartment containing a German ID card from World War II. As well, his family seems to be harbouring secrets and withholding valuable information from the police.
Was the victim a Jewish camp survivor or a Nazi soldier trying to escape imprisonment? Could someone have tracked him down for revenge? Even Green, with all his experience, could never have imagined that the truth would come so close to his own life.
