A Perfect Storm has many threads that take the reader from one end of North America to the other. It starts in Las Vegas and ends up in Grand Bank, Newfoundland at the easternmost tip of Canada where
most of the story takes place. It was inspired by real life events, like the meth crisis that is seeping across rural and urban areas all over the continent and the rise of gangs to facilitate the damage that is inflicted in communities, large and small. They are innocently abetted by ordinary citizens who turn a blind eye to the wrongdoing around them and allow the criminals to operate with impunity against the meagre resources of law enforcement officials.
This sets up a perfect storm that rages through families and across cities and towns and it is up to Sgt. Windflower and his fellow officers to bring calm and security back to Grand Bank. Along the way there is also good food, good friends and ordinary people doing great things for themselves and their communities. Come visit Grand Bank for a hefty helping of Maritime hospitality and some excellent police work.
A Perfect Storm is the ninth book in the award-winning Sgt. Windflower Mystery series, but it, like all the other books in the series, can be read as a stand-alone story. The books have been nominated for many awards and Darkest Before the Dawn, Book 7 in the series, won the Bony Blithe Mystery Award as the best light mystery in 2019.
