Greycoat Blueback


Book Description

Welcome to Canada, she may look different. A short ten years from now, America as you know it no longer exists. Her citizens live in fear and the world looks on her with hatred. Despite being an ally of the States in most conflicts, Canada is viewed differently. Neither reviled nor revered. The liberal and politically correct of two great nations find one solution to both problems. Join the countries under the banner the world knows and loves then make people get along. The new Canada forms. A haven where drugs are accepted. A place of free, and paid for, love. A Union of peace and equality. Fear is all but gone from the hearts of citizens. Even in this utopia the need for detectives exist. Even in paradise some choose to do wrong. Even in the future evil hides in plain sight. Embark on a specially approved ride along with Tamlin Long, a detective of the Peace Covenant in the city and province of New York. A loveless marriage, a call to duty, these are just two things that keep him going. With retirement quickly approaching he must clear the heaviest caseload in the history of the Union. The greatest deviant produced by the young nation is Detective Long's problem. Leaving the criminal to someone else is not acceptable. Our privileged access lets us see it all. The hints to a domestic terrorist group operating in the fair country. The clues that they might be freedom fighters. The fact that our old friend Tamlin might just be on the wrong side.
