Looking for answers, private detective Sam Klein is called in to investigate. P dir=ltr align=justify>What appears to be nothing more than a deal-gone-bad quickly spirals out of control to threaten Sam’s own family. How can Sam prevent his loved ones from becoming enmeshed in a bootlegger turf war that’s bigger than even he can imagine?

(Levine’s) account of Winnipeg’s early settlement is brilliantly woven into a tale of nail-biting suspense. P dir=ltr align=right>—Canadian Book Review Annual

Allan Levine brings back his much-loved detective. [A] thoroughly engrossing mystery, it’s also quite a revealing glimpse of a period rife with violence and corruption.
