Book Description
An anonymous note in the middle of the night, an obituary for a banker who died in a hailstorm, and a mysterious woman vanishing down the stairwell: these clues lead Henry Alabaster and his uncle Kelvin McCloud to a spooky mansion in a coastal town. As a weather detective, Kelvin knows a thing or two about hailstorms, and then strange events surrounding the banker's death suggest foul play. Henry teams up with the fiery, artistic Rachel to help his uncle investigate, and they learn a lot about weather on the way. Nothing—not a thunderstorm, threats, burglary, a baseball bat-wielding suspect, nor even a devastating fire—can keep Henry and his team from chasing down the truth.

If you like dark, witty crime novels that will keep you guessing, then you'll love the first installment of Kevin Hopkins' page turning Ottawa Detective Series. Pick up A Striking Similarity today. Reserved For Murder - Book Two Everyone has a secret. And some people will go to any length to keep theirs. When the body of a teenage boy is found hanging from a homemade noose, deep in the woods outside of a First Nations reserve, it casts a dark shadow over the community during their annual harvest powwow. For the Ottawa Detectives, the evidence doesn’t add up. The deeper they delve into their investigation, the more questions they uncover. Was Jonny Two Bears’ death merely another tragedy in a string of teen suicides? And why does the reserve’s Chief seem more interested in meeting with the media than mourning with the community? The detectives are determined to find the answers before another child dies, and they're willing to use every resource they have available. Unfortunately, the mastermind always seems to be one step ahead, and all they can do is try to follow the tracks. There’s something evil in the woods.
