Book Description

Release Date: May 1 2012

Amazon.ca Editors' Pick: Best Books of 2012

In The Guilty Plea and Old City Hall, critically acclaimed author Robert Rotenberg created gripping page-turners that captured audiences in Canada and around the world. Rotenberg’s bestsellers do for Toronto what Ian Rankin has done for Edinburgh and Michael Connelly for Los Angeles.

In Stray Bullets, Rotenberg takes the reader to a snowy November evening. Outside a busy downtown doughnut shop, gunshots ring out and a young boy is critically hurt. Soon Detective Ari Greene is on scene. How many shots were fired? How many guns? How many witnesses?

With grieving parents and a city hungry for justice, the pressure is on to convict the man accused of this horrible crime. Against this tidal wave of indignation, defense counsel Nancy Parish finds herself defending her oldest and most difficult client.

But does anyone know the whole story?

Stray Bullets is Robert Rotenberg’s third intricate mystery set on the streets and in the courtrooms of Toronto.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stray Bullets - Hat Trick for Rotenberg May 2 2012
By Matthew416
I've read Rotenberg's first two books in this series and loved them. The detail and intimacy of the city is palpable.

Stray Bullets brings back characters from the last two books like, Ari Greene, Daniel Kennicott and Nancy Parish. The story takes place in Toronto so I know where everything is happening. If you aren't from Toronto, then this book can double as a guide book :-)

I'd recommend this book and this series.

Ever since I read Robert Rotenberg's first book (Old City Hall) I have eagerly awaited the next one.

I find his storylines exceptionally good without the use of a lot of unsavory words. Have gotten my family and friends to also read his books.

Enjoy him immensely and look forward to the next one.

I'm just sad he can't write any faster.

Disclosure: I received a copy of this from the Goodreads First Reads program.

Synopsis:A child is shot in a Toronto Tim Horton's car park during the first snow fall of the year. Most witness accounts and CCTV each reveal only parts of the events, and the one who may have seen it all is on the run.

Rotenberg's novel takes the reader on a journey that uncovers how the police, the Crown and defense attorneys map out and piece together events, broker deals and cope with the media to solve the murder of a four year old boy experiencing snow for the first time.

In short but very detailed chapters, the author is able to provide key player POVs while keeping the story moving at a quick pace without exposing too much too soon or decrease the level of suspense. Like the senior detective, I was confused by the chronology of part of the events and must admit that the twist was unexpected. It is minor is aspect, but significant in how the evidence is interpreted.

I quite like having books that have short chapters. They are perfect for those days those hectic days with the occasional brief pauses. When done right, as it is in Stray Bullets, means that unnecessary information is excluded and it keeps the reader focused on the mystery.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and relish reading the author's two prior works that I believe include many of the characters found in this one.
