An unknown assailant is terrorizing the quiet suburban neighbourhood of Riverside South. Can a young boy succeed where the adults have failed and put an end to the reign of terror?

An upmarket restaurant in downtown Ottawa is plagued by threats from a poison pen. The proprietor, the chef and a former vice cop turned major domo try to fend off disaster while cooking up a side order of romance.

A young artist travels to Bytown in the early 1850s. An employee of the artist's uncle turns up dead, and the only clue to the killer's identity seems to be a sketch the artist made near the crime scene. Can this sketch solve the man's murder?

Some of our mysteries are set in modern times, some reach all the way back to Bytown, Ottawa's original settlement. But what each story features - whatever the setting - is a crime that will leave you wondering, or leave you shocked, or maybe, awake at night wondering if you should read one more.

A Capital Mystery is a book that celebrates the magic, history and most of all - mystery - that is Ottawa.
