Synopsis

Robert Rotenberg's compelling tale, Stray Bullets, is the story of a spontaneous shooting at a Toronto donut franchise, a firefight that leaves a four-year-old boy dead and a crucial eyewitness, an illegal alien, vanished into the night. Ari Greene, the officer in charge of the Tim Hortons shooting struggles to separate the facts of the case from the many conflicting eyewitness accounts. How many shots were fired, and from how many guns? Which witnesses--if any--are reliable? And how to go about tracking down the shooter, who melted into the cold November darkness? Greene soon finds that there are people involved in the case with other agendas than solving the crime. He locks horns first with Nancy Parish, a defense attorney for one of the suspects, who's clearly in over her head. Then he must also do battle with Ralph Armitage, an arrogant Crown Attorney who's anxious to exploit the case to further his own career. For his part, Greene only wants to bring a killer to justice and give the grieving parents of the young victim some solace. Not as easy as it sounds in the murky world of those who assign little value to human life, and all too much to personal gain.

4-1/2 Stars. Mr Rotenberg has a new fan! Characters so human in a thoroughly compelling, frighteningly realistic, story. And you may actually feel a rush when justice finally rips off her blindfold. I certainly did.......more

It's official. I'm addicted to Robert Rotenberg's Greene & Kennicott legal mystery series. I love the way he creates real characters with real lives and real faults. There's also a wittiness to his writing that keeps it from being a dull legal or police procedural. And while the subject matter here......more

Goodreads review by Suzanne on November 20, 2017

I thoroughly enjoy reading this crime novel set in Toronto. This is my second Ari Greene's detective story and I find myself getting attached to the characters, knowing them a little better each time. It is fast paced (enough for me anyway), well written, well reasoned, plausible and best of all, it......more
