Synopsis

A killer with a taste for blood.

It’s 1939 and Britain has just declared war on Germany. But a much smaller war is being waged at home on Canadian soil: a war between one man and the city of London. At the head of the London Police forces is Joel Franklin, detective and medium, a man who can unearth secrets known only to the dead; his quarry, a man who likes his privacy so much he’s willing to kill for it.

Jerry Torvelson lives in a rundown little shack at the edge of the swamp behind the city dump, traps his own food, and works quietly at Sanderson’s Convalescent Home as an orderly. On Friday nights, he heads down to Dominion House for a drink and a little social interaction. But he’s a man with a secret; a secret which is about to be exposed.

Terry Harper, a hyperactive and indefatigable investigative reporter for the London Free Press, has just caught wind of a story, and once he catches a scent, nothing will shake him loose. Terry’s sure it’s the biggest story of 1939: people have been going missing out near the dump at the edge of town, right under people’s noses, and the disappearances have been going on for years!

What follows is a razor-sharp game of life and death as the hunter becomes the hunted and again becomes the hunter in turn, trying to eliminate or outwit his pursuers. The resulting police chase by plane, train, and automobile leaves Canada far behind for the rugged coasts of the Dominion of Newfoundland. There, Joel makes the acquaintance of Detective Rousseau, Newfoundland’s greatest detective. Battling language barriers and bad roads together, they chase their quarry through his strangest turns yet.

Follow the winding twists of this convoluted paranormal historical police procedural as Joel, with the aid of his colleagues and the disembodied essences he communicates with, digs up one clue after another in his pursuit of truth and justice. My Mother Made Me Do It is the 14th volume in the Joel Franklin Mystery series.
