Rebecca Bradley is a 24-year-old constable with the Ontario Provincial Police. Her goal is to become a homicide detective and learn how to catch
killers. Psychologically damaged by
the unsolved murder of her mother when she was eight years old, Rebecca is driven
by her mission to catch the perp. She’s obsessed with justice and retribution,
and haunted by dreams of revenge.
In Her Dark Path Rebecca
gets her first chance as an acting detective – to investigate the cold case of Abigail
McBride, who vanished for 16 days and then was found dead in her own home. The
brutal crime shocked the small Canadian town of Conroy.
Conroy is a neglected and dying Canadian town with a population of
less than four hundred. It’s isolated from the main tourist destinations of
Georgian Bay to the west, Lake Simcoe to the east, and the sparkling lakes of
the Canadian Shield to the north. Only the McBride murder has put it on the
map. The last decent jobs disappeared twenty-five years ago when Conroy’s
sawmill closed. Young people flee town as fast as they can.
Although formally part of Lake Huron, one of the five Great Lakes,
Georgian Bay is a massive body of water in its own right (about 80% of the
surface area of Lake Ontario). The eastern side of the Bay is known as the
30,000 lakes and forms the largest fresh water archipelago on the planet. Revered
for its stunningly gorgeous rocky and wind-swept landscapes, the eastern shore has been described as “a pink necklace of
islands scattered on a turquoise sea.” In 2004, the area was designated as
a world biosphere reserve by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO).
Her Dark Path
The Rebecca Bradley Detective Novel, Book 1
16
years ago, Rebecca Bradley’s mother was murdered. Rebecca was only eight
years old. The killer has never been caught. Growing up, Rebecca vowed that one
day she would track him down and make him pay.
Now
Rebecca is a young policewoman in Ontario. She wants to become a homicide
detective. Her first investigation is the cold case of a woman who vanished for
16 days and then was found dead in her own home. The brutal crime shocks the
remote Canadian town of Conroy.
The
puzzling case has uncanny similarities to the murder of Rebecca’s
mother. Both victims were found strangled in their own kitchens.
Can
Rebecca keep her emotions together as she closes in on a killer with
connections to her family and tragic past? And will she finally get
justice for her mother?
