DREAM CHASERS
RendezVous Press, Toronto, 2007
ISBN: 978-1-894917-58-2
One moonlit June night, seventeen year-old Lea Kovacev sets out to meet her secret lover by the cliffs of Ottawa's Hog's Back Falls. Three days later her nude body washes up in the shallows downstream. When the autopsy reveals she was dead before she hit the water, Inspector Green suspects murder. His investigation draws him into the manipulative world of elite young athletes, drugs and teenage sexuality that soon claims another innocent life. Who is the secret lover, and how far will others go to shield him? How many others, including Green's daughter, will pay the ultimate price for a young man's dream?
"a book to be savoured, not only for its meticulous plotting and sheer eloquence,but for the underlying message..."
Ottawa Citizen
"Insightful, nuanced, and entertaining, Dream Chasers might well be the best novel to date."
The Sherbrooke Record
"Dream Chasers is a winner, perhaps the best from a series that has gone from strength to strength."
Hamilton Spectator
