Justice

A young McMaster doctoral student is murdered in the street. Another student is accused of vehicular homicide. A shocked academic community can find no reason why one student should kill another. The trial is held, but its resolution is disturbing. Things begin to happen.



Detective Sergeant Timothy Earley of the Major Crime Unit heads an investigation of multiple murders and attacks which targets members of Hamilton’s Superior Court judicial system. A past crime seems tied to the present case. Then, a ponzi scheme is uncovered that preys upon newly retiring citizens of the city with promises to replenish savings lost in the recent recession. False, hidden and mistaken identities permeate all aspects of the case and lead the detectives into a frustrating morass of confusing motives and unlikely suspects. The tale exposes the age-old dichotomy between the law and justice, and whom our judicial system truly serves—the innocent victims or the savvy criminal?
