Product Description
Product Description
A motorbike-riding business writer is asked to investigate the death of a tycoon in the first of a new mystery series featuring the irreverent Jane Yeats, a still-grieving widow who smokes and sometimes drinks too much.
Ingram
Real estate baron Charles Durand is found murdered in his corporate tower, his skull shattered by one of his own collectibles. Durand's gay son William quickly becomes the prime suspect in what looks to the police like an open-and-shut case--until William's skeptical aunt hires irreverent business writer Jane Yeats to discover who really killed the much-hated tycoon.

Sudden Blow - A Canadian with Attitude!
April 20 2000
Here's a new Canadian author to watch for! Jane Yeats, a Toronto journalist with an attitude, a dog, and a Harley, is one of the neatest characters I've read about in a while! Sure, she has addictions and uses colorful language, but she has a most eclectic entourage of friends, wit, and a tenacity and frankness not often encountered in literature! Told in the first person, we get a great view of the world of modern Toronto and surrounds, with it's upper and lower crusts, characters just like us, and the brutal murder (of a deserving victim!) to unravel before the wrong person gets convicted, or Jane gets killed! I laughed and shuddered while devouring this first novel, and I'm glad to hear that there's another Jane Yeats novel in the works!
