In this gripping mystery for fans of Louise Penny and Michael Connelly, Inspector Green becomes obsessed with a former teacher?s mysterious disappearance.

Innocent scapegoat or monster manipulator? Matthew Fraser was an idealistic young teacher accused of molesting a young schoolgirl and acquitted in a sensational case that left the truth hidden and the young teacher?s life in tatters. Ten years later, his distraught confidante walks into Ottawa Police Inspector Michael Green?s office insisting that Fraser has vanished. Green?s curiosity is piqued when he discovers that Fraser left behind his beloved dog, a half-eaten dinner and an apartment crammed with research related to his case. Has Fraser fled to escape the wrath of victims, new or old? Or was he innocent all along and spent the last ten years trying to clear his name? And who is Fraser?s mysterious email correspondent with the user name Mistwalker?
