Sebastian Synard is back. It's the off-season, and the Newfoundland tour guide introduced in One for the Rock has crossed the island with his spirited teenage son for a weekend exploring the wonders of Gros Morne National Park. But on a hike across the spectacular rockscape of The Tablelands, they discover the half-buried body of a murder victim.

Life as a tour guide had its twists and turns, but now Sebastian — with his offhand, Scotch-enriched nature — is crossing a more dangerous landscape, on a path that will leave him face-to-face with a killer. (From Breakwater Books)
