Sergeant Winston Windflower and his trusty crew at the Grand
Bank detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have more than a few
mysteries on their hands. Windflower suspects that the three cases – a homicide,
a near-homicide and a fire on Coronation Street – are somehow connected, but

cranky mood, the never-ending winter that has gripped the coastal region of
Newfoundland and his new, power hungry
boss.
