Who by His Own Hand by Greg Rhyno

Who by His Own Hand by Greg Rhyno

Single mother and reluctant detective Dame Polara just wants to keep her family safe. When her two-year-old daughter is kidnapped by an old enemy, she must draw on her unusual talents to rescue Rosie.

To make matters worse, Dame’s dad — retired private eye Dodge Polara — is hospitalized after suffering a second stroke. Soon after, Dame uncovers a startling connection between her mother’s decades-old murder and the apparent suicide of a former city councillor.

Scouring the Greater Toronto Area in search of Rosie, Dame calls on her friends, her father’s shady connections, and even her former adversaries for aid. Her investigation leads her to a federal prison in Gravenhurst, an abandoned Queensway motel, and a Toronto Argonauts home game. But when Dame learns that Rosie’s abduction is part of a larger political conspiracy, she may be forced to betray her ideals to save her family.
