Menace: An Edwina Henderson Mystery by Wright, L.R.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780385257510.

After years of working under someone else, Eddie Henderson has been promoted. She is now in charge of the RCMP detachment in Gibsons, British Columbia—a force of fifteen officers and two civilians. While she is busy sizing up her staff, a woman reports a theft and then another reports a break-in. At first Eddie considers both complaints insignificant, even trivial. But as she and her new second-in-command begin to investigate, they are led into a dangerous confrontation with a stalker, obsessed with a woman who lives alone. His rage is rapidly escalating and he seems set to kill. Battling against the clock to find her man, Eddie can’t shake the feeling that he may be closer than anyone suspects. An intricately crafted story with a diverse cast of vividly portrayed characters, Menace is a gripping novel from one of Canada’s most celebrated mystery writers.
