The Specialist — Gordon Aalborg

The specialist is a serial killer with very specific, unique tastes. Kirsten is a jewelry designer whose hobby is caving, and she carries a lot of emotional baggage, above-ground or in the bowels of the earth. Her sister Emma goes missing en route to visit Kirsten. When Emma's ring mysteriously turns up in a newly discovered cave on Vancouver Island, Kirsten has to solve the riddle of an apparent impossibility, with the help of a few old friends and one deliciously tempting new one. Kirsten wants answers. The specialist wants her to join him for dinner.

Gordon Aalborg is married to mystery author Denise (Deni) Dietz, and lives on Vancouver Island.
