Following the sound, Lane goes to investigate. Up a steep path she discovers a secluded cabin and, hiding nearby, a young Japanese girl injured and mute, but very much alive.</p><p>At the Nelson Police Station, Inspector Darling and Sergeant Ames, following up on a report of a nighttime heist at the local jeweller&#8217;s, discover the jeweller himself dead in his office, apparently bludgeoned, and a live wire hanging off the back of the building.</p><p>As Lane attempts to speed the search for the girl&#8217;s family with her own lines of inquiry, Darling and his team dig deeper into a local connection between the jeweller and a fellow businessman that leads across the pond to Cornwall and north to a mining interest on the McKenzie River. Away at her police course in Vancouver, Sergeant Terrell&#8217;s favourite (former) waitress April McAvity is drawn into the case when Darling asks for her help with finding possible relatives in the city for Lane&#8217;s young charge.</p><p>Meanwhile offices are being ransacked and someone is following Lane. Through the alleyways of Nelson onto the country roads and woods trails of King&#8217;s Cove, the latest Winslow mystery is a study in bygone promises and lingering prejudice. </p>&#10;
