Synopsis

Behind the scenes, nothing is what it seems. Gord Stewart, 40 years old, single, moved back into his sub­urban childhood home to care for his widowed father. But his father no longer needs care and Gord is stuck in limbo. He’s been working in the movie business as a location scout for years, and when there isn’t much filming, as a private eye for a security company run by ex-cops, OBC. When a fellow crew member asks him to find her missing uncle, Gord reluctantly takes the job. The police say the uncle walked into some dense woods in Northern Ontario and shot himself, but the man’s wife thinks he’s still alive. With the help of his movie business and OBC connections, Gord finds a little evidence that the uncle may be alive. Now Gord has two problems: what to do when he finds a man who doesn’t want to be found, and admitting that he’s getting invested in this job. For the first time in his life, Gord Stewart is going to have to leave the sidelines and get into the game. Even if it might get him killed.

I said, “We did what we could and now we leave it for professionals, we let other people do their jobs.” “But what if they don’t?” “It’s like a movie crew, don’t try to do everyone else’s job, just do yours. Improv works like that, doesn’t it?” “No, you always try to get the best lines for yourself.”......more

Goodreads review by Laur on March 24, 2023

Started off as intriguing, kind of interesting storyline, as a movie set locator (and also working as a security PI for a special group) is asked to investigate the disappearance of her husband whose truck was abandoned in the woods. Missing now for quite a while. Reports filed - nothing known and n......more

Goodreads review by Christina on April 20, 2023

As someone admittedly not really into the genre I enjoyed this more than most PI novels. Gordon Stewart works as a location scout for movies, and when filming gets slow he supplements his income working as a private eye. Knowing this his boss on set hires him to find her missing (presumed dead) uncle......more
