      About This Book

      CHECKOUT

      Murder at the seedy Days 'R Done motel is no surprise. But the killing of actor Alec Hunter poses some questions for Toronto police Inspector Charlie Salter. Namely, what was a nice guy like Alec doing in a place like that?

      His death appears to be the work of a fine Italian hand--a Mob-style hit--carried out to settle some gambling debts. Yet the Mob denies the charges. So who was the Italian-looking gentleman who registered for Alec's room at the Days 'R Done?

      To complicate matters, Salter's wife, Annie, is away and a woman from his past is stirring up the present--as he unravels a web of blackmail and death surrounding the actor's final performance.
