It's a dirty, folded rectangle, about twelve inches by six inches, and it inspires greed and murder on both sides of the Atlantic. What is it? And who will die before it finds its rightful owner? Sadly for architectural photographer Harriet Jeffries, one of the murder victims ends up dead in the middle of her living room floor. Sadder still, Harriet's special friend, Inspector John Sanders of the Toronto police, becomes the chief suspect. The case of the missing document begins with the unwelcome arrival of Harriet's ex-lover, prosperous artist Guy Beaumont. Guy demands to know the whereabouts of Jane Sinclair, Harriet's former assistant and the mother of Guy's child. Jane ran away from Guy, taking with her a document that Guy says is his. Harriet hasn't heard from Jane, and she wouldn't tell Guy if she had. She has no desire even to talk to a man she has come to loathe. Jane is on the run. For there are people who will do anything to retrieve the document that Jane has in her possession. It's worth millions, and its too late to give it back. When Jane begs Harriet for help, Harriet and John want to assist, but John must first prove his own innocence in a case that could ruin not only his career but his life. With Pursued by Shadows, author Medora Sale proves once again that she is among the most stylish and insightful creators of contemporary crime fiction. The Harriet Jeffries/John Sanders series is one for all mystery fans to savor.
