Written by Robert J. Henry, this first installment in the new 'Owen Henderson' series is a thrill ride from start to finish. With two murders, a mystery 300 years in the making and the loss of his wife dogging his every step, battle-worn Detective Owen Henderson is in for the case of his life. Set in Southern Ontario, this modern-day crime novel starts with a bang - literally. After a brief and atmospheric prologue, a man is shot in cold blood - and suddenly, the action begins. In 'The Rose', readers are introduced to the titular top-notch detective: a man recovering from the tragic loss of his wife and returning from almost a year away from the job. Two crime bosses have been murdered, and Owen is teamed up with his long-time friend and boss, Tyson Richards to solve the grisly killings. Traveling across the province, the two are stunned when yet another murder is committed. It seems as if the case has gone sour... until they get a break. It seems that the motive behind the crimes is a 300-year-old book that has ties to the Vatican and a mysterious group of Priests... With not a second to lose, Henderson and Richards must find out the truth, before the trail of blood continues and their own lives are put on the line.
