not applicable

Ausma Zehanat Khan ; read by Peter Ganim

In the aftermath of a mass shooting at a mosque in Quebec, the local police apprehend Amadou Duchon, a young Muslim man at the scene helping the wounded, but release Etienne Roy, the local priest who was found with a weapon in his hands. The shooting looks like a hate crime, but Detectives Esa Khattak and Rachel Getty sense there is more to the story. Sent to liaise with a community in the grip of fear, they find themselves in fraught new territory, fuelled by the panic and suspicion exploited by a right-wing radio host. As Rachel and Esa grapple to stop tensions shutting the case down entirely, all the time, someone is pointing Esa in another direction, a shadowy presence who anticipates his every move
