About this ebook
“Canada’s first and foremost private eye” hunts for a missing woman amid a movie production in this mystery by an Arthur Ellis Award winner (Maclean’s).
Niagara Falls is overrun with Hollywood types who are shooting a film. But Benny Cooperman isn’t scouting for talent—he’s scouring the area for a woman named Billie Mason, who’s gone missing from his hometown of Grantham, Ontario. Has she merely been bitten by the acting bug, or is a much more sinister force at play?
“In Benny Cooperman, the author has leavened the hard-boiled school of detective fiction with comedy and compassion. With this book, Canada’s first and foremost private eye is well on his way to becoming a cherished national institution.” —Maclean’s
“The Cooperman novels are heavy on full-bodied characters, sharp dialogue, and rich humor.” —Booklist
“Benny Cooperman is . . . a lot of fun to hang out with.” —Donald E. Westlake
Murder on Location is the third book in the Benny Cooperman Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

About the author
Howard Engel (1931–2019) was born in St. Catharines, Ontario. He was a producer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation before emerging as a prolific, award-winning, and much-loved mystery writer, best known for the Benny Cooperman detective novels. After suffering a stroke, Engel developed alexia sine agraphia in 2000, a condition that prevented him from reading without great effort. This, however, did not inhibit his ability to write, and he later penned a memoir about the experience and his recovery called The Man Who Forgot How to Read. Engel was a founder of Crime Writers of Canada, and in 2014, he was the recipient of the organization’s first Grand Master Award. He passed away in 2019 at the age of eighty-eight.
