Charity Deacon is one of the stories that took a long time to get right. A bit prickly and blessed with more confidence than competence, she learns how to use her natural determination and curiosity to solve a dangerous problem. When I had finally finished the first book, she demanded to be part of a series.
Charity witnesses a crash on Robson Street in the middle of the afternoon. When she asks the police, they tell her that no one including the RCMP can pin anything on this gang.
Val comes to Charity because her sister is missing. She’s afraid Emma will be just another missing prostitute from the Downtown Eastside.
Will they find Emma alive? Will Charity bring down the vicious team of Jag Chen and Peter Wong?
Coming next, Greed. Charity and Lu want a fun holiday in France but doing a little favor for Delores drops them into the middle of an investigation.
