In a small college town in northern Alberta, there can be burdens to bury. What are the chances: two missing persons in a single day. And evidence of foul play - at least in one case...Corporal Freta Osprey of the RCMP finds herself assigned to Roberta LeBlanc, a senior detective in the Major Crimes Division, brought in from Edmonton to oversee the investigations. Freta and her colleague Corporal Rob Rainy form the LeBlanc Team.A question arises: Does the sudden disappearance of a local real estate mogul have anything to do with a vanished college student who presumably wandered off during a bush party? Improbable, but the two cases keep intersecting...Meanwhile, Freta unofficially enlists the sleuthing skills of Myron Tarasyn, history professor and her significant other. Myron was instrumental in solving a previous case, albeit within the confines of academia.Happy to help, Myron encounters more than he bargained for, from a decidedly anti-police religious leader and his odd son to an unnerving female student who inexplicably shows up wherever he goes!There's more than one game afoot, and the trick is not only to unearth who did what to whom, but to discover where the bodies are buried.
