Summary | "Wry, forthright Home and Garden reporter Robin MacFarland has somehow gotten herself--along with her best friend and investigative journalist colleague Cindy--assigned by their newspaper editor to examine the deep-rooted causes of homelessness in Toronto, Ontario. Their investigation quickly reveals the generational effects of a hydroelectric plant built in Quebec that displaced a large population of Indigenous people to Ontario with little to no support. When the Premier of Ontario dies at Robin's family cottage in Muskoka, Robin sets about proving that he was murdered against a tide of objection from Huntsville's police force. Robin needs to figure out exactly how his death was disguised to look like an accident, what his part was in a dirty web surrounding the creation of more electric power, who knocked him off, and finally, how all this will impact her family."-- Provided by publisher. |
