Book Description
Inspector Green is coping with an office job, still eager to get back into the day-to-day fray of policing. His chance comes when an unidentified woman is drowned in the Ottawa River. In her possession is a Medal for Bravery from a peacekeeping mission. As Green and his team dig deeper into the military past, Green finds himself sucked not only into the murky past of a peacekeeping unit but into the high-stakes present of a federal election race. What crime was committed in Yugoslavia more than a decade ago? Is someone still killing to prevent that secret from coming to light? And does the diary of a dead soldier hold the key?

A smorgasbord of mystery, appealing characters and twists and turns!,,
By Cheryl Tardif "bestselling suspense author" (Edmonton, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Honour Among Men: An Inspector Green Mystery (Paperback)
Honour Among Men brings back Fradkin's interesting protagonist, Inspector Green. This time he's called to a case involving the death of a mysterious woman whose body was dumped on the shore of the Ottawa River. The first order of business? To uncover the woman's identity. The second? To find out why she had a military medal for bravery in her hand.This fascinating novel takes you from Ontario, Canada, to Croatia via a soldier's missing diary, and it gives you a look into the hearts and souls of soldiers and the atrocities they face every day when they're at war. It also exposes the raw inhumanity of war and how people are forced to make choices 'over there', ones they have to live with afterwards...if they can. Honour Among Men shows us that politics are often cloaked by past misdeads. Everyone has a past. Some don't want theirs in the limelight, and they'll do anything to keep their secrets. If you enjoy a great mystery novel with vivid scenes, realistic dialogue and a well researched plot, check out Honour Among Men. Recommended for: Those who like a traditional 'whodunnit mystery' set in contemporary times. ~Cheryl Kaye Tardif

Another winner from this author,
By K. Honey (Brampton, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Honour Among Men: An Inspector Green Mystery (Paperback)
Barbara Fradkin's novels should be required reading for everyone who enjoys Canadian fiction at its finest. All her novels are well-crafted and capture the feel of Ottawa and the surrounding area with almost photographic clarity. The timeliness of her topic this time out (war crimes) and the sympathy and understanding she brings to it, make this novel of more than passing interest to anyone who is interested in this country. I've been told it won the award for best crime novel of 2007. This honour is well-deserved. A terrific book!

This review is from: Honour Among Men: An Inspector Green Mystery (Paperback)
Barbara Fradkin's mysteries are a must for expat Canadians. The settings in Ottawa and Ontario add a great deal. Her books however do stand on their own for fascinating stories and an appealing detective.
