It takes readers from the highest Westmount mansion to the lowest Montreal gambling joint and nightclub. Its hero is Mike Garfin, a man who got kicked out of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for sleeping with the wife of a suspect. Recreating himself as an “inquiry agent,” Mike takes on what looks to be an easy job: shadowing a bisexual teenager of privilege who is throwing around more money than his allowance allows. But the boy disappears and soon other disappearances follow, and Garfin’s world becomes a lonelier place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vehicule Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049533194480,"sku":"9781550654004","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781550654004_p0.jpg?v=1769899185","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781550654004","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
