Exposure

Nova Scotia - Canada - October 2012
'a cold place to die'

David Kettle finds a woman unconscious in his garden. She has no identification, no one has reported her missing, and there is no obvious reason she should be there at all.
As detectives Delano and Martin investigate, they uncover a web of online affairs and hidden identities. Who is she? And why is she there?

While the unidentified woman lies in hospital, watched over by staff, another presence circles closer; Jean-Marc, the paramedic who cannot let her go. His devotion is intense, intimate, and increasingly hard to dismiss as simple concern.

As winter tightens its grip, the inquiry moves from snow-covered footprints and half-truths to the stark light of the courtroom. Everyone has something to protect. Everyone has a version of events.

Exposure is a psychological crime novel about obsession, secrets, lies, and the dangers of virtual relationships.
