Detective Lane returns for a fourth time in Smoked, Garry Ryan's darkest mystery to date.When Jennifer Towers is found dead in a graffiti-tagged dumpster, Detectives Lane and Harper must decipher the art to find its artist--and possibly the victim's killer. What begins as an unconventional murder investigation leads to the disturbing discovery of two abused children, whose father becomes a prime suspect in the case. In true Detective Lane form, Lane must protect the damaged youths while keeping his own family in tact. With a surprising shift in tone, Smoked highlights the Detective Lane mystery series as one that reminds us of this generation's obligation to the children in its care.
Winner of the Lambda Literary Prize and recipient of Calgary's Freedom of Expression Award, author Garry Ryan drinks mochas and lives in Calgary, Alberta.
