Back when young Danny Swanson was a commercial fisherman, a disturbing, unresolved incident haunted him. One summer, his crew reeled in a monster one-eyed fish. Billy, a fellow crew member, offered to take the "Frankenstein" fish to the Vancouver Department of Fisheries and Ocean (DFO). Oddly, Billy was never heard from again. Now, eight years later, a blunt-spoken Danny works for the DFO, sees a JPEG of that distinctive fish in a DFO database, and begins to wonder what happened to Billy. Reassigned to work in his home region of British Columbia, Danny initiates his own investigation. After two more suspicious deaths, Danny feels trouble brewing and knows he needs insider help; who better than the young and attractive Sgt. Louise Karavchuk of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police? VERDICT Conspiracy is alive and well in Burrows's winning debut. There is plenty of technical detail for readers who love adventures like Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm or David Masiel's 2182 kHz. Burrows's prose can be dense, but his ability to bring a mixed cast into the tale is stellar." - Library Journal
