OFF THE MARK is available!
A broken family. Dirty oil. A deadly truth.
When Kate Heaney’s estranged husband turns up dead in a snow-covered ditch, suspicion falls squarely on her troubled brother. A crime analyst accustomed to solving cases from behind a computer screen, Kate refuses to believe her brother is guilty and decides to find the real killer herself.
With the help of her former lover from the Edmonton Police Department, Kate follows a trail that leads from long-buried family secrets to rival gangs and corrupt oil executives. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous the investigation becomes.
Now Kate isn’t just hunting a killer. She’s the one being hunted.
