Down Country - Tepperman, Lorne

. .

Résumé :
Rachel Tile---described by Rick Blechta, award-winning author of the Pratt & Ellis Mysteries, as an out-of-the-ordinary protagonist who thinks too much ... and not enough--- is back! This time she's investigating a university colleague who's wildly successful in securing research grants to study organized crime, but who may be doing a little bit more than just writing about it. The trail leads her to the infamous Texas Killing Fields, where she uncovers a tangled tale of deceit, murder, and misdirection, and a colleague who may have sold his soul to the devil. Tepperman draws on his long experience of academic life and his encyclopedic knowledge of sociology and criminology to craft a fast-moving mystery that takes the reader from Toronto to Texas and beyond.
