Crime returns to Vancouver’s waterfront in The False Creek Murder: An Inspector Coswell Mystery (NeWest $23.95), the fifth instalment in Roy Innes’s long-running series. In The False Creek Murder, a routine drug bust ends in tragedy when a young constable is killed, pushing Sergeant Janet Bostock into leadership of the narcotics squad. Reunited with RCMP homicide division head Inspector Mark Coswell, the pair must unravel three seemingly unrelated murders. As Coswell navigates shifting alliances and mounting pressure, Innes once again explores the human dimensions of crime through characters praised by Louise Penny as “alive, likable, and flawed.” Now based on Gabriola Island, BC, he balances city life and the outdoors, drawing on his varied interests—from classical music to hunting—to shape the texture and setting of his fiction. 9781774391389
