About this ebook
A police detective is accused of murder in this novel that “delivers on all levels: action, courtroom drama . . . and a show-stopping climax” (The Hamilton Spectator).
Until recently, Steve Nastos was a respected Toronto detective, part of the sexual assault unit. Now he’s in custody—accused of killing his young daughter’s dentist after learning of the man’s unspeakable crimes against children.
Freed on bail, he has one hope: to track down the actual killer, in a town where laws are seen more as guidelines and law enforcement agents adhere to their own moral relativism. Handicapped by a recovering alcoholic lawyer, a rogue cop, and a two-faced judge, Nastos has the cards stacked against him. Then his estranged but still beloved wife inadvertently becomes involved in the case, and the stakes become even higher.
He has to protect his family—but first he has to save himself . . .

While I admit those were the first thoughts through my head when a friend first passed along this novel, I was won over by the end of chapter one.
Cain's intimate knowledge of the backroom politics involved in the municipal justice system shine through in this fast-moving and well-paced story, centered around a gruff cop trying to clear his name and protect his family.
Short on fluff and long on character, Cherry Beach Express balances a mix of action and emotion, leaving readers constantly wondering who or what awaits on the next page.
