The First Nations Incident

Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Benson and his small team are given two cold cases to solve that were found when building repairs were carried out of the RCMP Barracks in Calgary. It was evident from the start that the original investigation was unprofessional and left a lot to be desired, more so because one case covered the brutal murder of very young children who were twin boys. The other concerned the death of a First Nations chief and relative of DS Jimmy Two Bears, one of Benson’s team. There was a lot of political influence brought to bear before the chief was murdered, which muddied the waters somewhat. In the end, Steve was beginning to believe that he would get into retirement knowing he was unable to solve this particular case. It was not a pleasant thought.
