Shipwrecked Souls by Barbara Fradkin
I can’t quite remember when or where I first met fellow Canadian author Barbara Fradkin, but I think it may have been at one of the Ontario Library Association’s SuperConferences, where we both would have been attending (and me, possibly emceeing) a “Meet the Crime Writers of Canada” event. I’ve certainly followed her writing career with interest, and so I was pleased to find that she was releasing a new Inspector Green detective mystery. Here’s a taste of what you can expect:
Title: Shipwrecked Souls
About the book: Shipwrecked Souls is the twelfth in the gritty, realistic series featuring Ottawa Police Inspector Michael Green. When an elderly woman, recently arrived from Ukraine, is found murdered in an obscure alleyway, the only clue is a scrap of paper in her pocket with the name Symkha Grunsteen written in three different alphabets. No such person seems to exist.
While the police are trying to track her movements, an elderly man who lives nearby is also murdered, and Inspector Green is called in to interpret the masses of documents about World War II and the Holocaust stored in his basement. What is the link between the two victims? Who is Symkha Grunsteen? And are the murders connected to something that happened during the war? As the police unravel the threads of betrayal and cover-up, Green finds himself on an emotional journey into his own past, where he uncovers long-hidden secrets and makes a startling discovery.
