Alex Desocarras Mystery Red Paint

"A Canadian detective sergeant hunts human traffickers who've slapped a target on his back in this sequel to Blue Star (2020) ... Striking prose ... and the diverse cast includes numerous Indigenous characters." - Kirkus Reviews An important crown witness in a case against a paedophile ring is found brutally murdered, the officers guarding him shot dead. The ring operated undetected in British Columbia for years, part of a much larger operation about which the police know nothing. An Indigenous hacktivist seeking information about the case finds a coded message hidden on an RCMP server. He risks exposure to warn the man he has come to grudgingly respect, Alex Desocarras, of its chilling contents. Desocarras is pushed headlong into a nightmare chain of events that will test the limits of his endurance against a ruthless adversary, and ultimately, force him to choose where his allegiance lies.
