About this eBook
“A fast-moving swinging story of intrigue, suspense, action, and mayhem . . . [the] characters are all colorful rogues” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
In rugged, remote Newfoundland, a merry band of smugglers is carrying on a grand tradition, handed down over centuries. But the greatest of them all, a man named Peter Kerrivan, is now in the sights of the authorities, from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to the American DEA.
Centered around a multimillion-dollar cargo of pot on a creaky freighter and offering a high-seas romp spanning from Colombia to Miami to the North Atlantic, High Crimes is “a gripping novel . . . with a thrilling triple-twist conclusion” from an author who has won both the Arthur Ellis Award and the Dashiell Hammett Prize (Mystery News).
