Fall Guy by Scott Mackay
A Barry Gilbert Mystery (2nd in series)
Publisher: Diversion Books
Price: $2.99 (as of 04/28/2015 at 6:30 PM ET).
This is a new ebook edition of a mystery first published by Minotaur Books in 2001.
Detective Barry Gilbert is called into Toronto's Chinatown to investigate the death of Edgar Lau, a man whose history and connections take the detective on a ride across continents and cultures, and deep into an immigrant family's struggle to survive against harrowing odds.
Gilbert must piece together Edgar's labyrinthine history — from his days as a Vietnamese refugee who made a deadly trek to China by boat, to his affair with a prominent member of Toronto's city government, to his dealings with a Chinese drug baron. Throughout the investigation, damaging and sensitive questions are raised — questions somebody in Toronto's police department doesn't want answered.
It soon becomes clear to Gilbert that in addition to hunting down Edgar's killer, he must fight police corruption as well — a fight that could threaten the department's stability and future. This tale of murder and misdoing, family and betrayal, is a riveting police procedural by a masterful mystery author.
