The Drowned Man

A retired Scotland Yard detective is lured back to work in "a series to follow particularly for Louise Penny fans and the Masterpiece Mystery set" ( Library Journal).

Chief Insp. Peter Cammon is supposed to be retired, but he's reluctantly agreed to travel to Canada to retrieve the body of a murdered colleague. And once he's involved, he can't resist delving into the oddities of the crime.

His fellow cop was brutally attacked, run over by a car, and then dumped into a canal—all seemingly linked to the theft of three letters from the American Civil War era, one of which may have been signed by John Wilkes Booth . . .

"Tightly plotted and featuring a lead character who keeps us glued to the page, the book should definitely suit readers looking for an intriguing lead character and a solid mystery." — Booklist
