Dream Chasers Book

A seventeen year-old sets out to meet her secret lover by the cliffs of Ottawa’s Hogs Back Falls. Three days later her nude body washes up in the shallows downstream. When no one comes forward and the autopsy reveals she was dead before she hit the water, the public fears a sexual predator is on the loose. But Inspector Green suspects a more personal connection. His search draws him into the manipulative world of elite young athletes, drugs and teenage sexuality. As Green and his team probe the dead girl’s social circle, he gets some cryptic help from an unexpected source; his own long-estranged daughter. She reaches across the chasm of hurt and ignorance between them to give him a glimpse into the teen world of sex, jealousy and power. Then, a school social worker who knows too much disappears precipitating a panicked high-speed car chase that threatens even more lives. Unless Green can unravel the truth, how many others, including his daughter, will pay the ultimate price?

Jo Ann Vicarel - Library Journal

In his sixth outing (after Honour Among Men), Ottawa police inspector Green is on vacation when a 17-year-old girl goes missing. His own teenage daughter is home alone and not answering the phone. He returns there only to get caught up in the murder investigation and finds, much to his surprise, that his daughter can help. Fradkin, two-time winner of Canada's prestigious Arthur Ellis Award, creates enough suspense to drive this tale of high school sports heroes, teen sex, and adults who prey on the young.
