Аннотация
A private investigator and a journalist take on a ruthless gang in Calgary to rescue a runaway and find justice for themselves. In 2005, journalist Adam Cullen’s wife, Donna, is killed by an arsonist. In desperation after police, fire department, and insurance investigators all give up trying to find the culprit, Cullen hires private detective Mike Cobb, but he, too, is stymied. Seven years later, Cobb re-enters Cullen’s life. A search for a crack-addicted teenage runaway is tangled up with Calgary’s most ruthless criminal organization – and a possible lead on Donna’s killer. The parallel investigations take the two onto Calgary’s meanest streets, populated by a vicious biker gang, a silky-smooth pedophile, and an assortment of people who aren’t at all what they seem. As they weave their way through long-buried secrets, Cullen and Cobb will come face-to-face with a cruelty they could never have expected … and a killer about to strike again.

2015 Kobo Emerging Writer's – Winner, Fiction 2015 Arthur Ellis Award – Nominated, Best First Novel 2012 Unhanged Arthur Award – Winner, Best Unpublished First Crime Novel What do a necrophile, a missing boy, and an unsavoury P.I. have in common? Private detective Michael Drayton is about to find out…. Twenty-nine-year-old Michael Drayton runs a private investigation agency in Vancouver that specializes in missing persons – only, as Mike has discovered, some missing people stay with you. Still haunted by the unsolved disappearance of a young girl, Mike is hired to find the vanished son of a local junk merchant. However, he quickly discovers that the case has been damaged by a crooked private eye and dismissed by a disinterested justice system. Worse, the only viable lead involves a drug-addicted car thief with gang connections. As the stakes rise, Mike attempts to balance his search for the junk merchant’s son with a more profitable case involving a necrophile and a funeral home, while simultaneously struggling to keep a disreputable psychic from bilking the mother of a missing girl.

Рене Реймонд, известный всему миру под псевдонимом Джеймс Хэдли Чейз, вышел из семьи отставного британского офицера, и отец прочил Рене карьеру ученого. Но в 18 лет будущий писатель оставил учебу и навсегда покинул родительский дом. Он испробовал немало профессий, прежде чем стал агентом по распространению книг и основательно изучил книжный бизнес изнутри. Впоследствии Чейз вспоминал: «…Мне пришлось постучать в сто тысяч дверей, и за каждой из них я мог встретить любого из персонажей своих будущих романов…» В течение почти полувековой писательской деятельности Чейз создал порядка девяноста романов, которые пользовались неизменным успехом у читателей разных стран, и около пятидесяти из них были экранизированы.

2013 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Mystery – Winner When missing persons investigator Dan Sharp attends a wedding, he finds himself investigating more than one murder. Dan Sharp, a gay father and missing persons investigator, accepts an invitation to a wedding on a yacht in Ontario’s Prince Edward County. It seems just the thing to bring Dan closer to his noncommittal partner, Bill, a respected medical professional with a penchant for sleazy after-hours clubs, cheap drugs, and rough sex. But the event doesn’t go exactly as planned. When a member of the wedding party is swept overboard, a case of mistaken identity leads to confusion as the wrong person is reported missing. The hunt for a possible killer leads Dan deeper into the troubled waters and private lives of a family of rich WASPs and their secret world of privilege. No sooner is that case resolved when a second one ends up on Dan’s desk. Dan is hired by an anonymous source to investigate the disappearance, twenty years earlier, of the groom’s father. The only clues are a missing bicycle and six horses mysteriously poisoned.

Остросюжетный триллер. История мести за убийство, которого не было. Герой идёт к цели, не считаясь с жертвами. Методы вовлечения других людей в исполнение плана мести шокируют. Не приведи Господи попасть в руки такому человеку! Все, кто ему нужен, начинают волей или неволей играть отведённую роль в замысле мстителя. Сможет хоть что-нибудь остановить человека, который решил достичь своей цели любой ценой? Воленс-неволенс – просторечный вариант произношения латинского выражения volens nolens. Означает то же, что и «волей-неволей».
