The Wrong Words​

​

A death on the Malahat, Norcross knows it's murder.

​

Adam Norcross is not in a good place right now. Recently, he buried his author mother. Still, he needs something more than the power struggle between him and his mother's cat to distract him from his grief. That something comes in the form of an assignment from his boss, Walter Shapiro. Shapiro is not a patient man, not surprising since he reports directly to the prime minister. He interrupts Norcross while during his leave on Vancouver Island and demands results. Norcross’ task is to find out how the country's most eminent climate scientist ended up dead in his car off the highway in a mountain ravine. Was it an accident or suicide? As soon as he speaks to Shapiro, Norcross’ unique precognitive ability tells him is something else, something darker.

Sergeant Bethany Leith is not thrilled to have Norcross stepping on her toes. Even though her second Constable Bighetty, is willing to give Norcross the benefit of the double. Once he inserts himself into Leith's suspicious death inquiry, Norcross will use his investigative knowledge and unusual talents to help her uncover who wanted Doctor Flete dead and why.

Salish University is ground zero for the investigation. Among those involved are Flete's dean, his wife, and his new girlfriend. Then there are his colleagues, some of whom denounced Doctor Flete’s important work, along with a woman from Adam Norcross' past.
