Charlie Salter (Book 1)
The night the gods smiled
by Eric Wright
Inspector Charlie Salter, a detective with the Toronto Police Department, is assigned to solve the murder of Professor David Summers, an English professor at a local college, who was found dead in a Montreal hotel room during a conference. The only clues are a lipstick-marked glass and a whisky bottle used to crush Summer's skull. As Salter delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of potential suspects, including Summers' mistress, his wife, and his squash partner, leading to a complex and intriguing investigation.
