It All Falls Down

fullDescription

The brilliant, fearless, deeply flawed Nora Watts—introduced in the ""utterly compelling"" (Jeffery Deaver) atmospheric thriller The Lost Ones—finds deadly trouble as she searches for the truth about her late father in this immersive thriller that moves from the hazy Canadian Pacific Northwest to the gritty, hollowed streets of Detroit.

Growing up, Nora Watts only knew one parent—her father. When he killed himself, she denied her grief and carried on with her life. Then a chance encounter with a veteran who knew him raises disturbing questions Nora can't ignore—and dark emotions she can't control. To make her peace with the past, she has to confront it.

Finding the truth about her father's life and his violent death takes her from Vancouver to Detroit where Sam Watts grew up, far away from his people and the place of his birth. Thanks to a disastrous government policy starting in the 1950s, thousands of Canadian native children like Sam were adopted by American families. In the Motor City, Nora discovers that the circumstances surrounding Sam's suicide are more unsettling than she'd imagined.

Yet no matter how far away Nora gets from Vancouver, she can't shake trouble. Back in the Pacific Northwest, former police detective turned private investigator Jon Brazuca is looking into the overdose death of a billionaire's mistress. His search uncovers a ruthless opiate ring and a startling connection to Nora, the infuriatingly distant woman he'd once tried to befriend. He has no way to warn or protect her, because she's become a ghost, vanishing completely off the grid.

Focused on the mysterious events of her father's past and the clues they provide to her own fractured identity and that of her estranged daughter, Nora may not be able to see the danger heading her way until it's too late. But it's not her father's old ties that could get her killed—it's her own.

     May 14, 2018
     In Canadian author Kamal’s disappointing sequel to 2017’s The Lost Ones, danger looms when a mysterious stranger approaches Vancouver research assistant Nora Watts—who barely survived her last case, involving the kidnapping of the now-teenage daughter she gave up for adoption at birth. The man claims to have served with her late father, Sam Watts, as a Marine in Lebanon and hints that there might be more to learn about his suicide. Soon Nora is headed for her father’s hometown of Detroit, where her initial inquiries uncover little about Sam, but do offer a tantalizing lead about someone else—the mother whose face she has never even seen. Meanwhile, back on the other side of the border, Nora’s frenemy, PI Jon Brazuca, is also swimming into treacherous waters as he investigates an ostensibly unrelated case: the death by overdose of a billionaire’s pregnant mistress. Kamal demonstrates a knack for putting her kick-ass heroine in harm’s way, repeatedly, but unfortunately shows considerably less skill at crafting a coherent plot. Agent: Miriam Kriss, Irene Goodman Agency.

   • content: Nora Watts is back in a second book, after THE LOST ONES, that gets more personal and violent. Bahni Turpin is a capable narrator for this thriller about a female crime fighter who's out to settle old scores. Turpin's narration is contemplative as she recounts Nora's inner turmoil over her discovery that the death of her father may not have been suicide. Turpin takes listeners through the twists and turns of Nora's search for justice using steady, precise sentences. Fans of crime thrillers will welcome the subplot that brings Nora's personal and professional lives together. As the story moves from Canada to the U.S., listeners are guided by Turpin's confident delivery. M.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

     Having found the daughter she gave up for adoption in The Lost Ones, Nora Watts now turns to the question of her father, who killed himself when she was a child. Her investigation takes her from Vancouver, BC, to Detroit, where he grew up as one of numerous Canadian native children adopted by American families. There she uncovers not only the mystery of her father's death but also questions about her mother, whom she never knew. Back in Vancouver, investigator Jon Brazuca agrees to look into the overdose of a billionaire's pregnant mistress. It's no surprise that the two cases share a connection--nor is it a shock that Watts and Brazuca continue to deny their feelings for each other. Touching on many weighty subjects, such as the opioid crisis, the adoption of Canadian indigenous children, and Detroit's deterioration, the story moves briskly. While enough background is given to help new readers, this title appears to be the middle installment of a possible trilogy, leaving those who haven't read the first book missing out on its full impact. VERDICT Mystery fans who enjoy their crime fiction headed by strong, cynical heroines will appreciate this, but they should start first with The Lost Ones.

     Starred review from May 15, 2018
     The troubled Nora Watts searches for the truth about her father's supposed suicide in Kamal's follow-up to The Lost Ones (2017).Nora has a knack for finding missing people, but after a case involving her 16-year-old daughter, Bonnie, nearly killed her, she's taken on something more low key: helping her former employer, Sebastian Crow, who is dying of cancer, write his memoirs while taking much needed comfort in her dog, Whisper. When a man approaches her claiming to have served with her father, Samuel, in Lebanon, Nora decides to leave Vancouver and head to Detroit, where her father, a survivor of the Sixties Scoop in Canada--during which children of Indigenous heritage were forcibly put up for adoption--grew up. In the process, she makes shocking discoveries about her Palestinian mother, Sabrina, who abruptly left Nora and her sister, Lorelei, when they were little. After she's attacked in her hotel room, it's obvious that there may be much more to her father's death than she thought. Meanwhile, Nora's old AA sponsor, ex-cop Jon Brazuca, is asked by his billionaire friend, Bernard Lam, to find out who the dealer was who supplied his pregnant mistress, Clementine, with the drugs that killed her. Brazuca's search leads him to a dangerous gang that may have ties to the people who nearly killed Nora and Bonnie, and he discovers that Nora is in grave danger. Although not as bloody as the first book, this installment is no less compelling or gritty, and Nora, who remains as prickly and conflicted as ever, finds danger everywhere she goes. Kamal laces her narrative with a palpable melancholy, effectively capturing the urban decay of Detroit while emphasizing the vibrancy and hope of the people who inhabit it. An explosive finale, which takes place during Detroit's yearly Angel's Night, sets the stage for more to come from this complicated, flawed, and utterly enthralling heroine.A stunning, emotionally resonant thriller.
