About this audiobook
From the doyenne of detective novels and the inspiration for the major TV series Murder in a Small Town (starring Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk), the third Karl Alberg detective story, where a new resident ties Alberg's life up in knots. Murder in a Small Town will air Tuesdays this Fall on FOX and Global TV.
For fans of Shetland and Broadchurch, British Columbia's Sunshine Coast isn't always so sunny for Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg. Although Alberg is effectively the police chief, the most pressing thing on his desk right now is the spunky old lady who has apparently escaped from her retirement home.
Zoe Strachan has a comfortable house, built on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast: secluded, private, far away from the past she has left behind. Beautiful and enigmatic, Zoe has no friends and seemingly no family. Until her brother shows up one day and threatens to reveal the secret she thought was buried forever.
Against his will, Karl Alberg finds himself being drawn deeper and deeper into these women’s lives to the detriment of his on-again, off-again relationship with the alluring librarian Cassandra Mitchell. And then suddenly he realizes the danger that lies ahead--a danger he must do everything to avert before it’s too late.
