Bøger i Holly Martin Mystery serien

In this new series by the acclaimed author of the Belle Palmer mysteries, RCMP Corporal Holly Martin takes charge of her first post, a detachment in tiny Fossil Bay on the wild south coast of Vancouver Island. Drunk drivers, speeders and the occasional theft from tourist cars lead the crime roster, but her first day starts with a distress call. A scuba diver has found the body of a girl in the surf. A tragic drowning caused by a fall? The late arrival of tox-scan results for crystal meth, the most recent plague to hit the island, raises ugly questions. Just before Holly makes an arrest, a record-setting typhoon roars in, empowered to destroy everything in its path. As the wind howls and trees crash around her, Holly struggles to survive and to bring a murderer to justice.

The verdant lushness of Vancouver Island is not without its dangers… Summer on Vancouver Island gets off to a rocky start with the discovery of the body of a homeless man. RCMP Corporal Holly Martin notices drug paraphernalia nearby, and the autopsy reveals death from a combination of heroin and a synthetic opiate. Information leads Holly to believe that he had hidden something of value at the site of his death. As Holly struggles to connect the dots, a record drought heats up the vacation paradise, and one match could send Canadas Caribbean into flames.

Summer on Vancouver Island gets off to a grim start when a homeless man is found dead near sleepy Fossil Bay by a family geocaching in the surrounding area. Investigating RCMP Corporal Holly Martin, a newcomer to this small detachment in a vacation mecca, gets involved when she and Constable Chipper Knox Singh notice drug paraphernalia nearby. The mans wallet has stolen identification, an old photo, and several new hundred-dollar bills. Another drifter suggests that the victim had come to town to hook up with an old girlfriend, who says that the man is Joel Clavir, the long-lost criminal brother of a respected local woman, and that he has come to try to collect on his sisters recent big lottery win. More information leads Holly to believe that Joel had something of value, which he hid at the site of his death.
