Genre: Mystery, Crime
1. Murder on the Run
As a dangerous killer stalks women on the streets of Toronto, a young schoolgirl is kidnapped in what appears to be an unrelated incident. But as Toronto Police Inspector John Sanders examines the evidence, he uncovers a disturbing web of false identities, drug trafficking, and worse, police corruption.
Racing against time, can Sanders put all of the puzzle pieces together in time to protect those he cares about most?
2. Murder in Focus
Toronto Inspector John Sanders, in Ottawa prior to an international trade conference, is with architectural photographer Harriet Jeffries when she takes a shot linking two men who would rather not be seen together. Her apartment is later ransacked, as is the motel room they move to. John suspects the photo is connected with the recent death of a construction worker, even before he discovers the dead man was an undercover agent in the Canadian Security Intelligence System.
Law agencies are pitted against one another: CSIS, RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police), and the combined Armed Forces. The complex plot includes a planned assassinatino of Austria’s prime minister, without forecasting the identity of the highly placed traitor. In perilous circumstances, John luckily remembers a seemingly unrelated detail in time for him and Harriet to escape death.
3. Murder in a Good Cause
Shortly before wealthy, demanding actress Clara von Hohenkammer keels over at an unexpectedly dramatic reading in her Toronto home, she argues with nearly all of her avaricious clan, her odious business manager and a few untrustworthy retainers. The murder weapon is cyanide-laced tisane. Sale ( Murder in Focus ) brings back the rather irritable romantic duo of homicide inspector John Sanders and freelance photographer Harriet Jeffries, who, as a guest at the victim’s fatal soiree and a reluctant confidante of her mixed-up daughter Nikki, is admirably placed to investigate. Meantime, a group of Basque separatists are stealing from the rich and casually killing anyone in its way. Sanders and Jeffries bicker repeatedly, then kiss and make up, occasionally taking time out to sleuth. This very basic whodunit wraps up events much too conveniently.
4. Sleep of the Innocent
Toronto police Sergeant Rob Lucas holds the plot focus, while action alternates between sleuthing and romance. While the series’ heroes, Inspector John Sanders and photographer Harriet Jeffries, vacation in America, Lucas probes the shooting death of a corporate chairman. A witness flees a ransacked safe house after he files his statement, and subsequent reports produce the same result. Finally Lucas locates the witness, but refuses to bring her in until he can plug the leak in his department.
Sanders returns and is assigned the case, still missing a detective and witness. A haphazard paper trail indicts a number of ignored but obvious suspects. Although Sanders investigates, Jeffries identifies the culprits. Lucas’s musings about the power of the police and his relationship with the witness alter the tale beyond a routine procedural.
5. Pursued by Shadows
It’s a dirty, folded rectangle, about twelve inches by six inches, and it inspires greed and murder on both sides of the Atlantic. What is it? And who will die before it finds its rightful owner? Sadly for architectural photographer Harriet Jeffries, one of the murder victims ends up dead in the middle of her living room floor. Sadder still, Harriet’s special friend, Inspector John Sanders of the Toronto police, becomes the chief suspect. The case of the missing document begins with the unwelcome arrival of Harriet’s ex-lover, prosperous artist Guy Beaumont. Guy demands to know the whereabouts of Jane Sinclair, Harriet’s former assistant and the mother of Guy’s child. Jane ran away from Guy, taking with her a document that Guy says is his. Harriet hasn’t heard from Jane, and she wouldn’t tell Guy if she had. She has no desire even to talk to a man she has come to loathe. Jane is on the run. For there are people who will do anything to retrieve the document that Jane has in her possession. It’s worth millions, and its too late to give it back. When Jane begs Harriet for help, Harriet and John want to assist, but John must first prove his own innocence in a case that could ruin not only his career but his life.
6. Shortcut to Santa Fe
Architectural photographer Harriet Jeffries invites Police Inspector John Sanders on a short holiday. Flying to Santa Fe, John meets a group heading for a "Mysticism and Magic in Old New Mexico" bus tour. When the bus leaves without two eleven-year old passengers, Harriet and John pack the kids in their rental van and pursue.
But the bus heads away from Taos, and the van comes upon a scene of terror, far from help. Some wounded and frightened, the trapped tourists face an unknown killer who emerges at night to stalk his victims. Harriet and John find new meaning in their relationship and in the power of good to overcome evil.
