The seedy massage parlors, gang-ridden housing projects, and expensive mafia-run clubs of Toronto provide the backdrop for this riveting crime story featuring Detective Gord Bergeron. Plagued by unanswered questions in his personal life and at work, Gord immerses himself in the investigation of a death that may be terrorist-related. "Did the Arab-looking man who fell 25 floors to his death jump, or was he pushed?" Sharon MacDonald may know the answer, but she is knee-deep in her own problems--namely, her house arrest, the impending arrival of her drug lord ex-boyfriend, and the attention of the preternaturally good-looking Ray. It's only a matter of time until Sharon and Gord's paths cross in this fast-paced mystery.
