DIVIDENDS OF BETRAYAL
A Blake Lowry Crime Noir Mystery

Montreal, 1935. The city's shadows run deep, and so does deception.

When $150,000 vanishes from Banfield Trust, private investigator Blake Lowry is called in to trace the missing funds. At the centre of the scandal is Alice Taft, a meticulous secretary-treasurer with a spotless record, until now. Silent behind bars, Alice claims she gave the money in love... and in desperation.

As Blake, his sharp-witted partner Lucy, and streetwise investigator Gary Lalonde peel back the layers, they discover a trail of seduction, fraud, and betrayal that leads from a smooth-talking mill owner to a crooked oil and gas outfit named Dominion Frontier.

But Dominion is more than a front, it's a Ponzi scheme wrapped in promises and protected by power. And when Lucy goes undercover, the case turns personal. What began as white-collar crime erupts into a deadly game of greed and control.

Money might be missing, but it's trust that's truly bankrupt.
