Deadly Prescription Mark Carter

On a hot summer morning, the Garden City of Victoria awakens to a murder of horrific proportions. In an instant, the quaint and popular vacation destination known for its English Colonial charm is turned upside down. One of its major tourist attractions, Craigdarroch Castle, is now the scene of a major crime involving two very influential and prominent visitors. Whether by fate or by design, the homicide investigation becomes the purview of Detectives William Birchall and Robert Edenshaw, two of Victoria Police Department's finest. Years of experience and training have fine-tuned their ability to successfully apply means, motive, and opportunity in the summation of a crime. But with a trail of seemingly unrelated, yet clearly staged murders, all is not what it seems for the Detectives. With no tangible leads and a series of unsolved murders, Detectives Birchall and Edenshaw are on the hot seat. With a possible serial killer at large, the City's reputation as a popular tourist destination is at stake. When the investigation turns personal, Detective William Birchall becomes desperate. As the investigation flounders, the world as he knows it is about to unravel.
