From the doyenne of detective novels and the inspiration for the major TV series “Murder in a Small Town” (starring Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk), the second Karl Alberg detective story-is he the detective or the suspect?
For fans of Shetland and Broadchurch, British Columbia's Sunshine Coast isn't always so sunny for Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg. Karl Alberg used to be a big-city cop solving crimes involving gangsters, drug lords, real low-lifes. He can't possibly be stumped by a murder in small town? But he is. The woman was found propped against a tree, her pretty face scrubbed clean, and her slender neck slit from one side to the other. And that is all anyone can tell Alberg. Her name? Not so much. So Alberg hires a local artist to draw her picture; maybe someone will recognize her...without, you know, the sliced-up neck. It's a brilliant idea. The answers pour in. And they all point to one potential suspect, which should make Alberg very happy. But it doesn't. This gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets.
