In a run-down Montreal apartment,
Tempe finds heartbreaking evidence
of three innocent lives ended. The
landlord says Alma Rogers lives
there— is she the same woman who
checked into a city hospital as Amy
Roberts, then fled before doctors
could treat her uncontrolled
bleeding? Is she Alva Rodriguez,
sought by a man who appeared at
the crime scene? Heading up an
investigation crackling with the
sexual tension of past intimacies,
Tempe leads homicide detective
Andrew Ryan and police sergeant
Ollie Hasty along the woman’s trail
and into the farthest reaches of
mining country—where the grim
industry of unearthing diamonds
exacts a price in blood. And where
the truths the unlikely trio uncovers
are more sinister than they could
have imagined.
