Abstract
Orwell Brennan, chief of the Dockerty police force in small-town Ontario, had enough problems on his hands. But things are complicated for the loveable curmudgeon: a police officer from Toronto, in Dockerty as part of a Metro murder investigation, is killed in his hotel room. But Brennan finds help in one of his bright young officers, who teams up with the dead cop's brash ex-partner. Together the two women uncover a ring of shady pawnbrokers, crooked public figures and Russian thugs all after one thing - the Sacred Ember, a very rare ruby once owned by the Tsarina herself.
