THE DETECTIVES
Rebecca Bradley is a 24-year-old constable with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). She’s obsessed with catching the person who murdered her mother when she was eight years of age.
Hound is a 22-year-old giant of a man hiding out from life in Conroy after an abusive and unhappy childhood in London, England. When Rebecca came to Conroy, he was stricken with her at first sight.
THE SETTING
Conroy is a neglected Canadian town with a population of less than four hundred, isolated from the main tourist destinations of Georgian Bay to the west, Lake Simcoe to the east, and the sparkling lakes of the Canadian Shield to the north. Only the McBride murder has put it on the map. The last decent jobs disappeared twenty-five years ago when Conroy’s sawmill closed. Young people flee town as fast as they can.
