J.N. has lost his job, his girlfriend, his apartment … almost everything —until his cousin Claire offers him a job managing renovation projects for her in Muskoka. It should have been a fresh start. Instead, it’s a crime scene. The suspects—including Claire herself—all have something to hide.

What starts as idle curiosity pulls J.N. and Claire into a web of old grudges, tangled relationships, and buried secrets. As the clues tighten into focus, someone gets one answer too close to the truth.

Now the question isn’t just who’s buried in the concrete. It’s who’s next.

A murder mystery served with a generous pour of humour and sly misdirection.
