An irresistible story of justice heading off the rails.
Arthur Beauchamp, the scholarly, self-doubting legend of the B.C. criminal bar
(and one of Deverell’s most amiable — and crafty — protagonists), is enjoying his
retirement as a hobbyist farmer on B.C.’s Garibaldi Island when he is dragged back
to court to defend an old client. Nick “the Owl” Faloon, once one of the world’s
top jewel thieves, has been accused of raping and murdering a psychologist. Beauchamp
has scarcely registered how unlikely it is that the diminutive Faloon has hurt
anyone when his own personal life takes an abrupt turn. His new wife, Margaret Blake,
organic farmer and environmental activist, has taken up residence fifty feet above
ground in a tree she is determined to save for the eagles and from the loggers.
Beauchamp shuttles between Vancouver and the island, doing what he can to save
the tree and get his wife back — and defend Faloon.
